You can set the preferred display manager globally in a much cleaner manner:

su -c echo 'DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"' >> /etc/sysconfig/desktop

It might not be unreasonable to seek an option in firstboot to select the 
display manager at install time when multiple desktop environments are 
installed.  (I suspect that's too small of a project for the SoC, 
though.  ;-) )
