If you look at the .Xclients-default script, the $WMPATH variable is
never exported. So, if you echo it to see the contents at the command
line, it'll be blank. "switchdesk KDE" worked for me. Make sure your
.Xclients-default file looks like this and you should be OK:
#! /bin/bash
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
WMPATH="/usr/bin /opt/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin"
for wm in $WMPATH ; do
[ -x $wm/startkde ] && exec $wm/startkde
done
exit 1
