I have ~/.Xclient set to start KDE (courtesy of the old switchdesk

What do I have to do to get KDE?

Hi Jeff,
You may find this bug I posted on "switchdesk" interesting:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658247
I posted a work around on the bug:
use the "session" at the bottom of the greater screen
Worked for me to default to Xfce.

Thanks for the tip. That got me reading, and eventually I found in the
GDM docs where it talks about .dmrc:
"Normally GDM will write this file when the user logs in for the first
time, and rewrite it if the user chooses to change their default values
on a subsequent login."
Great. So I looked and sure enough I had a ~/.dmrc file which contained:
[Desktop]
Session=kde
Language=en_US.utf8
Layout=us
So why does GDM still default to Gnome? Grrr... So I am fed up with
GDM. Any ideas how I ditch GDM and switch to KDM?
Jeff
