Hi Dave and all,
I tried changing /etc/sysconfig/desktop to {GNOME, Gnome, gnome} and rebooted each
time, but each time it still comes back with kdm! Is it possible that this file is
not being read? or is there something I need to do to activate it?
Thank you

Hello Doug,
You need to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop, and change the entry
from KDE to GNOME. This will then start gdm instead of kdm.
