How do you know that? What signs are there that one, or both, of these is
running?

Which login screen, xdm or gdm? If gdm, you can log into a termninal to fix
the ~/.xession problems. I presume you can with xdm as well.

It may be that your ~/.xsession (or the defaut one) has both kde and gnome,
somehow. It shouldn't, of course. Your ~/.xsession should end with
exec gnome-session
(no & after that). This presumes you want to start with gnome. kde users
will tell you what to do for that.
