I do the following. I assume all the right stuff is installed. (KDE etc)
open up a terminal in gnome. do as root
update-alternatives --all
and hit enter to the irrelevant questions
until it asks you whether you want to start with gnome or kde and then select
kde. Something like
There are 3 alternatives which provide `x-session-manager'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
1 /usr/bin/icewm-session
* 2 /usr/bin/startkde
