Making KDE default?


Just upgrading to FC2 from FC1. I had KDE 3.2 on the FC1 and really liked it so I want to use it with the new install. When I get the initial Fedora login screen, I can click the Session link at the bottom of the page and select KDE as my window manager, log in, and life is good. When I log out and log back in again, I get Gnome instead of KDE. I remember from FC1 that it would "remember" what was used for the last log in (KDE). How can I make KDE load by default instead of Gnome?

Another (somewhat) related question. When i logged out of KDE on FC1, I was asked if I want to Log Out, Restart, or Shutdown (plus there was this cute little dragon in the box too!). Now with FC2, when I hit Logout, I simply get the option to confirm my logout and then taken to the main login screen where I can choose to Reboot or Shutdown. How do I get the "dragon" back (plus the other options that go with it)?

First, check out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=187017
for how to change your default desktop. To get the dragon back, you have to set the display manager to KDE, which is also documented in the previously mentioned thread.
