I do it this way. I edit the /etc/inittab file to start the login in gui. You can also do this through the KDE Control Centre -> boot manager. You can choose between KDM, GDM or XDM login managers. I prefer KDM, easily configurable. During login, you can now choose which window manager you like to start. You can even choose console login if you want to. Of course, all this can be done from the console in non GUI mode also, but as far as I understand, it involves writing some files and deleting some each time you want to change the WM. For me, the GUI login works fine. Try it.
