I don't have a .xinitrc.  So I think the reason it's defaulting to Gnome
is because it gets listed first by '/usr/sbin/chksession -l', so what I
need is a way to restore KDE to the top spot.  /etc/X11/wmsession.d
lists 01KDE then 02Gnome, but that doesn't seem to affect chksession
directly.  And the /etc/X11/window-managers file mentioned in man
chksession doesn't exist, so I can only assume Mandrake looks for some
other file which isn't documented.
