Yes, this is what I'm referencing.  Virtual desktops are common to all 
Unix/Linux GUI environments that I've seen.  The switchdesk application 
is available for Fedora but does not seem to be available for CentOS.

Hi,

You can do it from GDM itself, at login time you can choose the
language and the desktop environment to log in to. See image.

This image is of the Stella GDM not CentOS but it does demonstrate what 
I'm talking about.

To clarify my original posting, I only have the Gnome desktop installed 
on my machine.  I do not have KDE, or any other desktop, installed, just 
Gnome.  I do not see a session selection on my systems GDM panel.

What I want to know is this:

If I have multiple installations does CentOS also support the same 
session selection option on the GDM panel as is shown on the screen shot 
of the Stella GDM?
