[Bug 854370] [NEW] installing kubuntu-desktop fails to warn gdm users

[phix-semitones]

Public bug reported:

When installing kubuntu-desktop from the package manager in 10.10, you
are given the choice of keeping gdm or using kdm as your login manager.
Unfortunately gdm is the "wrong" choice, and causes breakage in sound
control, removes the shutdown button from kde's menu, and perhaps other
aspects. Nowhere in the installation process of kubuntu-desktop is this
made clear. New users may suffer from some of these problems without
realizing the cause.

A possible improvement would be in kdm's setup, include the text that
kubuntu is meant to use kdm, and aspects of the desktop may not work as
expected using gdm.
