While writing /etc/sysconfig/desktop with
DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE
didn't work on first boot run session (even pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace).
Setting it and rebooting the system lets kdm start.
But the session is by default set to gnome (that I didn't select
during install), and it seems I cannot select the "session type"
option.
At second attemp to click on it I get an X Windows System restart...
the same trying to click on "Menu" option

At second click when X restrts:
Oct 26 18:17:28 f16tc2 kdm[886]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly
Oct 26 18:17:28 f16tc2 kdm: :0[1609]: Fatal X server IO error:
