If you installed both Gnome and KDE you should be able to change to either one via "session" at the graphical login.

If you didn't install KDE go to "Applications>Add/Remove Software" and select it there.

When I log out and try to log back in I just get the username field with the blue backround. I dont see any session menu??? What am I doing wrong? I do have both of them installed, i just checked to make sure

When you are at the login screen which I am posting a link to the official Fedora image you can look at. At the bottom there are:
"Language-Session-Restart-Shut Down", go to "Session" and you should see Gnome and KDE listed to choose from.

You can also install a "desktop switching tool" that will be accessed from "System>Preferences>More Preferences>Desktop Switching Tool" or from a terminal "$ switchdesk".

Just do:

Code:

# yum install switchdesk

Code:

# yum install switchdesk-gui
