Towards the end of the KDE Start menu, there is "Start New Session". You can use that to get a graphical login screen from where you can login as the same or another user, also choose KDE or GNOME. Your usual screen is then in focus with CTRL-ALT-F7 and the other session is CTRL-ALT-F8. Regards Sid. Franklin Maurer wrote:

I need a bit of help. I just successfully installed the personal edition 8.2 on my Intel laptop (Fujit su S-Series). KDE desktop is cool but I want to try GNOME. The documentation is not clear to me how do switch to GNOME. Can someone provide me some info on this?

At a command prompt(not from kde.) use Ctrl -alt-f1 - f6 to get another terminal.

startx gnome -- :1

or You should have a choice in the drop down menu of your login screen. Try running SuSEconfig, that fixed it for someone last week.

or try kde > control center > system > login manager > Session(use Admin mode) and add gnome to the list. HTH
