create a .xinitrc file and put it in the skeleton dir, this file will get placed into the home directory of the new user

Put the line below in the .xinitrc
Code:
exec startkde
For GNOME
Code:
exec gnome-session

With fedora core 4

just edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop
Replace DESKTOP=...
by DESKTOP="KDE"
or DESKTOP="GNOME"

That changes the default desktop system wide and is no good if you just want to change it for individual users who may want to run different DEs.
