How can I switch form KDE to Gnome e vice-versa?

I've installed Mandriva 2007 free and select to install both KDE and Gnome. I choose as the default KDE.

I have a simple question: How I switch from KDE to Gnome and vice-versa? The shortcuts that I define under KDE will appear under Gnome?

I found a similar thread but it isn't clear. I would like to go from KDE to Gnome and later get back to KDE and so on forever.

If you look carefully at your normal graphical login screen, there is usually an option or drop-down list, where you can specify which "Session" (KDE/Gnome) you want to login to. Sometimes it is not immediately obvious though.

Everything occurs like you said and I swap from KDE to Gnome and vice-versa.

One last question:

When I installed the Mandriva I choose automatic login with my user. Is there a way of reset this and Mandriva always ask for the user and password?

Cheers

Of course there is, but I am not exactly certain where in Mandriva.
Try running kcontrol from a terminal. Then System Administration -> Login Manager -> Convenience Look for []Enable Auto-login
Otherwise, you'll just have to keep looking through the menus. You'll learn quite a lot from just exploring them all.
