	So I DBANned it, and installed F7 from a live CD I still had.

	I've been tweaking the install with pirut -- and frequent reboots
to be sure I hadn't broken anything. On the last one, logging in as
user, I decided to make sure it not only brought up Gnome, but had
Gnome as the default session.

	I got a little hasty and careless, hitting enter to soon -- and
*very* inadvertently made the default session KDE, which I happen to be
intensely allergic to.

	I can't remember the exact name of the app that lets you change
-- and KDE is acting as if Gnome either didn't exist, or were taboo.

	What do I do to get Gnome back onto the login session menu??


switchdesk?  Get it from yum.

Bless you, SIR! I made sure all machines have it. One had it already; but I can't find a launcher for it. Is there one?

Knowing that I have trouble recalling the name, and therefore will also with the command, I meant to put a launcher on the panel of each machine. I guess I'll have to make one -- for the first time ... -- unless I'm missing something.
From a command line simply type <switchdesk gnome> kde, xfce, or whatever you want and then <startx> should get you where you want to be.

I'm struggling with an affectioned cat between me and the keyboard!
