Go into Xconfigurator and change it there, or edit /etc/X11R6/XFconfig86
and set the resolution to what you want as default there.

It should indeed be switchdesk. You can also select the window manager
through Linuxconf.
Or manually edit ~/.Xclients:

exec kde  # runs KDE
exec gnome-session  # runs Gnome
