I recently installed Mythdora on a frontend for my MythTV system. I have KDE installed and it works; however, the system refuses to make KDE as my default desktop. I have tried the switchdesk command and it runs without error, but Gnome persists as the default desktop. What should I change? When I use google to look for answers, it appears that the suggestions are for earlier versions of KDE or for older distros. A common suggestion is to edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop, which is not there. Mythdora 10.21 uses Fedora 10. I can't seem to get the system to use KDE without expressly choosing it at the login screen. What else can I post to clarify what is happening on my system?

Thanks, in advance, for your assistance.
Tom

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, Fedora 10 does not use this method and the referenced directories/files are not there. I will continue my search in a Fedora forum, as it now appears to me that this is a distro question rather than a desktop configuration issue.

You must create a file /etc/sysconfig/desktop and add the following entries:

DESKTOP="KDE"
DISPLAYMANGER="KDE"
