[CentOS] CentOS 6: Making KDE Default

[Scot P. Floess]

Sorry for .xsession, I mean when you are in runlevel 3 and type startx... 
However, in looking at my home directory, I see I have .xsession 
symbolically linked to .xinitrc

I think you want a ~/.xinitrc that looks like what I described for 
.xsession

I just did some googling - I couldn't remember the name of an app to 
switch the desktops...  Try yum installing switchdesk and switchdesk-gui

I believe those will change your desktop for you (the default one)...
