How do I go about changing my window system in slackware 10?

Whenever I use startx, it just starts KDE. I would like to try out gnome. How do I change it so it starts Gnome or whatever I want?

I get the feeling that this is a very stupid question....

When you get to runlevel 4

Code:

 
init 4

Either gdm or kdm will start. Or you can also type "kdm" or "gdm" in the console and then you'll be able to choose from a list of possibilities.

Or,

Go to /etc/X11/xinit and do rm xinitrc. Then do ln -s xinitrc.gnome xinitrc.

This will remove the sym link xinitrc wich is linked to xinit.kde wich is the xinitrc that starts kde and replace it by a sym link to the xinitrc that starts gnome.
