I'm just wondering, how do I actually make the GDM to start GNOME automatically (after a successful login) for all normal user account without having to add 'exec gnome-session' in every user's ~/.xinitrc?

The current scenario is, only successful 'root' logins starts the GNOME, while other normal user successful login is presented with the minimalist window manager (which is equivalent to 'Default System Session' from the GDM menu).

I thought GNOME was the default desktop. Well at least it is here until I use the 'switchdesk' function. I prefer KDE. :)

Just have your user run 'switchdesk gnome'. This should switch them to Gnome desktop.
