Logout from your Gnome session and pick the KDE one in the options. Restart and see if KDE is used or not, if not, you have to specify your default WM somewhere. Don't ask me where exactly though... Which login manager are you using?

To change your default window manager in slack 10.1 use:

xwmconfig

at the command line. You will then be able to pick from the ones you have installed.

Also, for future reference:

http://slackbook.org/

Is a handy manual to be familiar with. Lots of good stuff in there, including xwmconfig.
