It probably means to hold down Ctrl-Shift as you log in from gdm, not
startx from console or login from kdm.
To get gdm to run in runlevel 5 instead of gdm, you should just have to
change a symlink:
[root@localhost root]# cd /etc/X11
[root@localhost X11]# ls -l prefdm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Aug 22 17:24 prefdm -> ../../usr/bin/kdm*
[root@localhost X11]# rm prefdm
[root@localhost X11]# ln -s /usr/bin/gdm prefdm
Now you're done! The next time you reboot, you'll get gdm (GNOME's
login manager) instead of KDE's!
Of course, since it's fixed now anyway, this is irrellevant to your
problem, but maybe someone else is intested.
