While not a "correct solution", here's a workable workaround:
1. Set up your system to use kdm.
2. Create a "dummy" account.
3. Login to the dummy account first, using kde.
4. Switch-User to get a new login screen, and login with
whatever account you need, using kde or gnome as desired.
5A. If you are using kde, you can further switch-user for another
account if you want. That works perfectly well.
5B. If you are using gnome and you want to switch-user, then first
use the CTL-ATL-F1 (or is it CTL-ALT-F7) to go to the "dummy"
account. From there you can do a switch-user to get another
login screen.
Notes:
With this scenario, if you try to switch-user in gnome, then
you get an error message, so no harm, no foul. It is possible to
switch gdm/gnome and kdm/kde in the above workaround. The problem
with that is if you try a switch-user from a kde session, it gives
no error messages, but doesn't work and often wipes out other sessions.

This is a problem in my home as my son and I use KDE but my daughter and
wife use Gnome.
