    you should edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop by hand and place a line there like

    display=KDE
    displaymanager=KDM

    or in some there's only desktop.
    mine's desktop=KDE

    Or you could just use the RedHat/Fedora switchdesk program which changes your default.

    Im confused...

    Sorry guys your talking to a fedora N00b

    the only way right now to run KDE is this little button on the bottom of my Logon Screen that gives me the option on what to run it under, if i click system Default, which it automaticly sets to, it runs GNOME. I dont want gnome.. anyone got a good way of explaining how to take care of this?

    If you get the chance u can IM me with AIM - im pretty much always on nowadays just im mr rappidly untill i wake up
