Best Answer

The GNOME Display Manager (GDM) and KDE Display Manager (KDM) are X display managers that allows a user to start an X session on an X server.

In other words, the display manager shows the login screen when nobody is logged in. After it checks your username and password, it hands off the work to the actual display manager (e,g, GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE).

GDM uses the GTK windowing toolkit, while KDM uses the KDE counterpart, Qt.

What command is used to switch between default desktops?

Depends on what linux distro or bsd flavor you're using. If you're using GDM, KDM, or XDM you need only to pull up a terminal and type 'man gdm', 'man kdm', or 'man xdm'. If you're using something without a greeter then you'll probably need to edit your xinitrc file. Some distros have a cli tool that changes the default window manager or desktop environment to be used but most greeter apps for X have a point and click option to change that stuff. If you have a greeter and can't do it then you really should read the documentation before touching your system again.
