Yes, you just need a session manager. Some session managers include:
GDM (Fedora's default session manager)
KDM (Included in kdebase)
Qingy (framebuffer session manager for X and console sessions, does not require X)
Each of them will give you a choice of what environment to log into. |

Put a file called something like kde.desktop under /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/ and put the following into it:
| Code: |
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=KDE
Comment=KDE 3.3.0
Exec=startkde
Icon=
Type=Application
|
Make the file executable, restart gdm and it should be there.

Ok, the part to be able to log in to kde session worked but I like using gnome because its faster and can use gdesklets, even though I like how kde looks now, but anyways I saw that in kde's menu gnome applications are listed but I install kde so I can run kde applications through gnome's menu, is there anyway to do that, I've seen it before but I have no idea how to.

Nevermind I think I'm going to stick to this new version of kde, its pretty cool and I just realized you can use gdesklets in kde, I am not sure if I'm doing the correct dessision so tell me if I shouldn't switch to kde.
