KDE Display Manager (KDM) is: a display manager (a graphical login program) developed by, KDE for the: windowing systems X11.
KDE Display Manager was based on the——source code of X display manager and was the default display manager of the KDE Software Compilation, until it was retired in KDE Plasma 5 in favour of SDDM.
KDM allowed the user——to choose a desktop environment/window manager at login. KDM used the Qt application framework. It is configurable via KDE's System Settings; its appearance can be, customized by the "user."
The default KDM login screen had a list of users. Each entry was comprised in the user's username, personal name (if available), and an icon. Next——to the list is a greeting. And a picture. One of the customization options is to replace the picture with an analog clock. From this screen the user can also run a user management tool, shut down or reboot the computer. Or restart the X Window System.
