(kde) kdm gone mad - please help !



Hellow everybody, please help ...

I have been using kde version  1.1-0.1alpha1rh5x.i386 for the last 3
weeks or so, with
no special problem (exept some minor bugs I saw).

yesterday I played with it (I changed the deafualt language to Hebrew
which - tried it
just out of curiosity), and kde got angry.

the desktop got  'stuck' - when ever I press a buttom in the panel - the
display (exept the mouse)
is frozen.

I cannot do anything but to do a hard reset.

(yes, it was a very bad idea to use an alpha version)

so, I tried to use the kdm_off script to go back to say AfterStep,
uninstall KDE, and reinstall
the KDE 1.1pre2 (btw, what does the name meen ? is it also an alpna
version ?).

but this didn't work - when I ran "startx" again, I still got kde. it's
as if kdm 'ate' xdm.

btw, when I did "top", I saw that kdm is still alive and it taking 98%
of my cpu.
seems to me kdm got into someking of infinite loop.

MY QUESTION :
how can I safely restore xdm and AfterStep ?

please help if you know,
gal.
