This sets the display manager to KDM.

This sets the systemwide default desktop to XFCE. (It can be
overridden per
user.) The original poster probably wants DESKTOP="KDE"
instead.

I'm not sure either of those 2 are actually used, they're both
not necessary
in any case.

Assuming you have KDE installed then the choice between Gnome
and KDE will be in one of the login pull down menus
I haven't got the Gnome Display Manager on any of my machines
and so can't tell you exactly

If you wish to set the login window to KDM then
just create /etc/sysconfig/desktop with gedit or some other editor and
add the single line (with a RETURN char)

DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"
