Changing Default Desktop Manager?

[jasontc]

I am currently running Red 7.1 with both GNOME and KDE installed. I have found that when logging out of GNOME the window freezes with strange verticle lines across the top of the screen. I have yet to have this problem with KDE.

My current default desktop manager is GNOME, does anybody know how I can change it to KDE?

edit your ~/.xinitrc to start KDE instead of gnome (I'm not sure what the command to start kde is, tho.. :o)

The entry for KDE is 'exec startkde', for Gnome it is 'exec gnome-session'.

Thank you for all the help.

What I ended up doing was changing the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file. The only statement in the file is "DESKTOP='GNOME'", I just changed the "GNOME" to "KDE", rebooted and everythings seems to be great!
