I can bootup into init3 ok, and startX takes me directly into Gnome, which doesn't help much, as I use KDE.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what's gone wrong with Gdm since the updates? Gdm is still installed, and verified by rpm -q -a gdm, and shows version -2.14.9-1

Nigel.

If you run a program called switchdesk from the terminal, you might be able to get kde to start from the terminal. I have no idea about the gdm problem. The power outage might have caused some data loss for gdm related items.
switchdesk kde
Then you can run startx to see if KDE comes up for you. If switchdesk is not found, you might install it with your update retrieval/installer program.
switchdesk should be run as the user who you want to have the desktop.
