KDE and Gnome problem

I'm using Mandrake 9.1, and have set an autologin. I have specified KDE as my default desktop manager, but Gnome keeps starting instead. How can I go about troubleshooting this?

You have to specify the default login manager for each user. Login the user selecting KDE explicitly and a message box will appear prompting whether to accept this as the default env. for this user. Click yes and you are done.

Goto Mandrake Control Center. Control Center, like start in windoze, then Configuration/Mandrake Control Center. Click on System, then User Drake. In the new window left click the user, then right click and come down in the list to "User auto login" and select the one you want. Click "Save" button.

There are a lot of ways to do that. This is just one. If you still need help after those, post back. I'll post another.

Didn't work, same problem. Also, when I try to logoff from Gnome, nothing happens until I try to open something, and then I'm allowed to logoff and go use KDE. Very strange.
