I would normally stop and restart the login manager too, or probably just
stop it, test the changes with startx or xinit, then restart the login
manager. Since a Debian-derived distribution is referenced, either of the
following will work (for xdm):

# /etc/init.d/xdm start
# invoke-rc.d xdm start

I expect Kubuntu would be more likely to use kdm. (FWIW Ubuntu uses gdm
by default).
