It should, but that file has to be created in F8, is not there in my box.
the switchdesk is an optional package. I find is the quickest way
to change your desktop at the CLI -no file editing.

How do you do it using CLI?
Install the switchdesk package, then change the desktop.
$ sudo yum install switchdesk
$ switchdesk KDE
that's it.
you can use your Fedora CD to install if you don't want to use yum.
I'm running F8, and I figure F9 should be no different.
~af
It is different, and the above does not work. It certainly worked in F8.
