Gnome/KDE defaults

I installed RH 7.3 with both gnome and kde installed. Gnome comes up as the default. How can I change it to KDE as the default? I am guessing edit something in /etc/X11?

I believe its in your Login Manager or user setup. Just a guess tho.

At the command line, type "switchdesk" to get a selection window of KDE / Gnome.

I think the file is ~/.Xclients-default
You need

Code:

exec gnome-session

Code:

exec startkde

(I think) for gnome or kde respectively.

I hope this helps
