Change back to KDE

Sorry if this has already been answered. I have a RedHat box that was KDE gui, but has been changed (by a more clever individual than I) to Gnome. Can any of you wonderful people
out ther give me a clue please. I bow to your superiority.

Thanks (windows user [usually])

As root and the user(s) if desired from the virtual terminal (the console) type switchdesk KDE

If switchdesk is not installed then install it; up2date -i switchdesk

Done this many times myself so I know this should work. You might want to check if the GUI session manager is set to default or KDE also.

"You might want to check if the GUI session manager is set to default or KDE also".
Sorry to be obtuse but could you
let me know how to check this.
Many thanks

Click on the Session Manager at the bottom of the screen, you will be given choices select KDE by clicking on it.

FYI: if your default desktop is KDE and the Session Manager is set to default then you are set.
