KDE + Gnome -> Default startup

I installed RH9 with Gnome and no KDE initially, so when i ran startx from the terminal...it would automatically load Gnome.
I recently installed KDE, and want it to run from the startx command by default....anyone know what file i need to edit?

edit the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file from
DESKTOP="GNOME"
to
DESKTOP="KDE"

Try switchdesk kde or make/edit the .xinitrc file in your home directory and add/edit the line that says exec startkde (I think).
