    Remember, Display Manager != Desktop Environment.

    
    If you want to switch the Display Manager, say from gdm to kdm.

    
    systemctl disable gdm.service

    systemctl enable kdm.service

    reboot

    
    If you want to switch Desktop Environment for a given user.  That is
    done from the login screen.  If using gdm, that option doesn't
    appear until you select a user.  If you are using kdm, it is always
    there as "Session Type"
