change the default desktop environment in linux
What will be your default desktop when you boot next time.
If you want GNOME to be your desktop environment Open the terminal (console) and type
switchdesk GNOME
If you want KDE
switchdesk KDE
The same applies to other Desktop environments too..just inculde it's name after switchdesk command
Or
The other way is to manually edit the /etc/sysconfig/desktop
file and put your prefered environment
You have to put it in desktop line in the file
i.e,DESKTOP="KDE/GNOME"
