GDM is getting a massive face lift to be more generic.  The original 
intent was to get KDE on board as well such that all you'd do is swap 
toolkits and use the same backend.  We've been trying to convince KDM 
upstream to participate but I've heard there's been pushback because of 
something dumb like we need to be bug for bug compatible with the 
existing KDM, which is just not going to happen.
