run this:

gnome-theme-properties &

it has an option called "Install new them..". I believe it will go to /usr/share/themes/

The option to switch desktops is still present in the GUI login screen -- its in the bottom. If you did not install KDE, it won't appear as a choice.

You can also switch desktops using this command:

switchdesk kde

or

switchdesk gnome

If KDE isn't installed... How would i go about installing it?

use this:

redhat-config-packages

And select the components for KDE
