Can you supply more info about your setup please. Are you using KDE or Gnome
as your desktop environment? Do you boot directly to X or go via a terminal
and the startx command?

It sounds to me like you have theme issues, thats nothing to do with the
display manager as such. The display manager (gdm by default for gnome, kde
or kdm for KDE) takes care of window placement and behaviour, but themes are
an "extra" on top, that require additional configuration
