It take it back. It worked once. It's now reverted to GDM although /etc/sysconfig/desktop still reads DISPLAYMANAGER=KDM. However, "ps aux | egrep 'kdm|gdm'" shows:

Sorry, I may have not been clear...
You want this in /etc/sysconfig/desktop
DISPLAYMANAGER=KDM
Note no preceeding dollar sign :)
To better understand, take a peak at /etc/X11/prefdm
In it, its doing this:
. /etc/sysconfig/desktop
You'll see it doing some checks like:
elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; then preferred=/usr/bin/kdm
Which will be used in starting kdm :)

Sorry to be so slow in responding. I've done what you suggested. I created /etc/sysconfig/desktop and entered "$DISPLAYMANAGER=KDM". I rebooted but there was no change. GDM is still being used.
Any other suggestions?

======================== Just create the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop and put in it:
DESKTOP=KDM
I believe it's DESKTOP - you can dbl check /etc/X11/prefdm

However, when I checked my CentOS 6.3 system, there was no such file, no /etc/sysconfig/desktop. I've not been able to find any method to enable KDE login in 6.3. The method mentioned in the earlier reply was for CentOS 5, not 6.
Any further suggestions?
