Default Desktop

I'm running RH EL4 with both KDE and Gnome installed.

Right now Gnome is the default (system) desktop. Is there anyway I can change this without re-installing?

The option to change the default window manager should be in your login manager config settings. (Administration->System->Login in GNOME)

Humm, well . . . .

The closest thing I have to that is: System Settings>Login Screen

but it doesn't let you change the default desktop.

Do you use GDM for your login manager (likely). My sessions list defaults to the last used session, so shouldn't running KDE once, change it forever?

Same problem
Hi Riluve, did you manage to work that out. I have the same problem, can't be hard, but can't find it anywhere. Also RH4. Thanks, Tim
