I do a switchdesk and set KDE as the default window manager. I am told
that I have to restart X to make it happen. I do that by typing:
ctrl-alt-backspace (or I go to init 3 and then back to init 5).
Which Fedora version? Which KDE version?
But nothing works. Were have I gone wrong?
Did you try a reboot? Sometimes restarting X does fail.
Was KDE working before this?

I tried reboot but no go. However, using startdesk from init 3 and
using
startx resultws when I reboot, I get a different login screen with a
session choice. I suspect I am not running kde with gnome. If I get
tired of it I will switch back.

In F8 and previous versions, the X startup code looks for
/etc/sysconfig/desktop. If the file is found, the value in the
"DISPLAYMANAGER=" line is used to launch a specific desktop. Valid
values are:
GNOME
KDE
WDM
XDM
or the absolute path to the desktop manager of your choice.
If /etc/sysconfig/desktop is NOT found, then it tries to launch a
desktop manager in this order:
gdm
kdm
wdm
xdm
I can't speak to how F9 does things since my F9 machine is unavailable
at this time.
