Description Petr Vanicek 2010-11-22 17:43:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
can not set the default KDE



How reproducible:
system ignores the settings in /etc/sysconfig/desktop DESKTOP="KDE"
Comment 2 Than Ngo 2010-11-23 12:29:50 UTC 
It seems you are using gdm as login manager. The DESKTOP enviroment is just ignored in this case. It's expected behavior, please choose the desktop from select box after you click the user in this case.
Comment 3 K. Scott Rowe 2011-07-06 14:59:10 UTC 
We have run into this exact problem.  We "fixed" it by using KDM instead of GDM by setting DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop.  KDM seems to respect the DESKTOP variable in /etc/sysconfig/desktop so it is able to default a user to either Gnome or KDE.
