kdm doesn't show any WMs or DEs but xfce and kde 3.4. What gives? I installed KDE last, after gnome, enlightenment and xfce4 but all it sees is xfce. Can somebody help me out?

Check what .desktop files you have in /usr/share/xsessions/ with
Code:
ls -l /usr/share/xsessions/

You should have a file called enlightenment.desktop, if you want kdm to show enlightenment. If the file is not present, create it and put the following in it
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Enlightenment-17
Comment=Log in using Enlightenment
Exec=/usr/bin/enlightenment
TryExec=/usr/bin/enlightenment
Type=XSession

Also check if you have gnome.desktop and put this in it
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=GNOME
Comment=GNOME
Exec=gnome-session
TryExec=gnome-session
Type=Application
