No I get a KDE screen. I do not have a gui login on my machines, I boot
them all to the CLI and then startx if I need it.

In the past I have found the place where it is calling the window mgr and
changed it to the one I want, indeed if you start X on the machine locally
fluxbox is what now comes up.

Here is the xinitrc

#!/bin/sh
# $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:30 cpqbld Exp $

# /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
#
# global xinitrc file, used by all X sessions started by xinit (startx)

# invoke global X session script
#. /etc/X11/Xsession
exec fluxbox
#
