Does this mean you can't switch from KDE to another wm, like you can in a
default RH install?

I for one would vote for Windowmaker being the default non-KDE manager.

Both very good points.

I now find myself in the semi-uncomfortable position of having to
re-evaluate  my stance. :)
I don't like the Windows interface. This is grounded in experience and is
not all 'adopted attitude'. KDE reminds me of Windows. A few hours of KDE
is not very much experience. A dislike of KDE then could be called
'migrated attitude'.

I'm lead to another question which you touched upon earlier. Why so much
focus on easy installations and easy interfaces? I mean, lets just say I
find the perfect desktop. It's easy on the eyes. A pleasure to navigate.
Endlessly conforming itself to my passing needs. Now what?

Gotta think 'bout this now. :)
