if you want it to be the system default (all users) 
edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop to read DESKTOP="KDE" then (if you want to use 
KDM as the login manager) DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" 

you should do this in init 3 then move to init 5 - at least that when i've had 
the most sucess getting out from under gnome-based stuffs with out reboot.
