Hi, probably can't help but thought I'd share the pain.

Yeah, tell me about it!
I have to wonder about the developers, what are they thinking.

Don't know but there used to be kde equivalent to gdm might be worth looking around.
You would probably need to remove gdm if you still can't work out how to set the default.

Yes, I saw that too but I can't start mine at startup because I use a token.
This is no doubt due to the move to systemd but if you had a SysV init script to do it before systemd will still run it if it's enabled. I don't think there is a separate script run at the end of the startup anymore so you would need to write a simple init script.
