I use startx myself, and have two scripts to switch between kde and
gnome:

================== use-gnome ===================
#!/bin/bash

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-session-manager
x-session-manager /usr/bin/kde2 50
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-session-manager
x-session-manager /usr/bin/gnome-session 99


=================== use-kde ======================
#!/bin/bash

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-session-manager
x-session-manager /usr/bin/kde2 99
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-session-manager
x-session-manager /usr/bin/gnome-session 50

(forgive my editor for wrapping the long lines :-)

Regards,
					Andrew.
