I've installed GNOME desktop on Kubuntu 12.04. But my speed of clicking take me to select Gnome as default desktop. Is there a way to switch from Gnome to KDE using terminal. I tried to Google it but nothing helped me to resolve my problem.

In 12.04, if you install a new desktop environment via terminal: e.g.

sudo apt-get install xfce4

During the installation the display manager pops up stating that you have more than one desktop environment but that you can only run one. It then asks you to select a default, so there's your opportunity.

I can't find a way to do it without having to install a new desktop...
