I think that Valerios issue may be that Gnomes "Switch User" applet does not 
 recognize KDM.
 
 AFAIK Valerio's only options are either...
 use KDM and use  the ctrl+alt+f7 (or appropriate fx key) keyboard 
 combination to get back to the KDE session from his wifes gnome session, or 
 put up with whatever he doesn't like about GDM (I think KDE's session 
 switcher works w/ GDM but I havent used it recently).
 
 I will be happy if someone proves me wrong about this.
 
 See ya
