Display Manager...

[dmzeplin]

I was trying to figure out where to solve KDE control center and menudrake problems, and when I went in MCC to look around and found display manager that have two different and I keep wondering what difference?

 

Will that help to solve KDE control center and menudrake? Since I got error when type in root for kcontrol;

if I choice XDM, will that solve the problem?

no, it won't because xdm and kdm don't have anything to do with your kcontrol problems. xdm is a login manager based on X, while kdm is the kde specific login manager (=the thing you see where you type in your name + password in order to start kde)

try removing your hidden /.kde folder in your /home directory and run kcontrol again. does it still give you error messages? if yes, have you already updated your system with easyurpmi? this can solve a lot of minor annoyances.
