Sorry, I was definitely wrong. Was away from my computer when I responded :)

As root, simply create /etc/sysconfig/desktop. You will want this in that file:

DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE

It's as simple as executing this as root:

echo "DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE" > /etc/sysconfig/desktop

I think you may need to reboot once the file is complete - but init 5 may also do the trick...

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?
