I learned from Anne that if I boot to level 5, after I enter the username, can select Gnome or KDE. I note that the default is always Gnome.
How can I make the default KDE?
How can I get KDE with startx after booting to level 3?
Assuming it is the same as fedora, put the lines
DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"
in /etc/sysconfig/desktop to change it for all users.
You beat me to the punch:
[root@test-centos6-vm ~]# head -25 /etc/X11/prefdm #!/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
# We need to source this so that the login screens get translated [ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n
