Yes, that is correct.

However, you should probably just reboot the machine, log in as root, 
and run "ps -a | grep gdm" and "ps -a | grep kdm"  That will answer the 
question as to which *dm is being used.  Then you only need to perform 
one of the above tests.

Depends on the above answer to which *dm is being used.  Lets get that 
figured out first.

Either *dm can login to KDE or Gnome... so knowing that most users use 
Gnome doesn't really help :)
