xdm login manager, KDE 5 not starting after upgrade to the latest -current

Dear fellow Slackware users,
I just upgraded a number of my machines from -current (around mid-October 2020) to the latest -current.
I carefully followed the package removals and additions, and so removed any packages that were removed since then, and installed almost all of the packages that were added since then.
I don't know whether there already are any open threads about similar problems but, my problems are the following:

I don't know whether there already are any open threads about similar problems but, my problems are the following:
- Earlier the login screen after X started was KDM, and for some reason it now reverted back to XDM. How could I change it back to KDM or something more aesthetic than XDM?
- After successfully logging in, I get returned to XDM, so I believe that KDE5 is not able to start for some reason. I have looked in Xorg.0.log, messages and syslog, but I couldn't find anything that would tell me what is wrong. Although I have to admit that I may not have been thorough enough.
