If you hold down the left mouse button somewhere on a blank bit of screen can you drag down to a logout option? I installed KDE but not GNOME. Selecting Session at the bottom of the login screen let me select KDE, I then obtained the KDE desktop after logging in. To make the KDE desktop the default you can change /etc/sysconfig/desktop to DESKTOP="KDE" Dave Fletcher
