When you boot just choose kde for that session and when you login it will aslk you if you wnat kde to be the default.

Hello,
Thnxs.
I do login to the termina prompt , not to the "X Windows " login.
I assume that you meant "choose kde for that session" from the X Windows login .
after login , I perorm startx and that's it, I am with gnome;
Is there a way that I will start with KDE ?

Just create one then chmod it:
chmod 700 ~/.xsession
