[ale] Redhat 6.1 switch from Gnome to KDE ?? How?

[Gary S. Mackay]

It might not have been the most elegent way, but after searching though the
code, I found that by creating a file called 'desktop' in the /etc/sysconfig
directory and putting KDE in it, X fired up KDE from then on.

Yes, 'switchdesk' also worked. Thanks for that suggestion.
