Can anyone reproduce this?
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122260
* This report is based on the *updates* to switchdesk of May 2/04.
Description of problem: Switchdesk tool *worked* after updates, but only the first time. I switched to KDE and it defaulted to KDE.
However, when I tried to switch the default back to Gnome via KDE, it kept going back in to KDE on each log in.
Logging out and manually choosing Gnome brought me back in to Gnome. I used the desktop switching tool from Gnome and defaulted to Gnome.
But, it still goes to KDE, whether or not I choose the "current display" option or not.
So, the desktop switching tool is still buggy.

I even can't get it to work the first time. When I use it from the command line this is what I see in the error output from Python:

I already did it! Also... the version in development fixes it!

See bugzilla # 121840. Version 4.0.3-1 fixes the basic problem, but if you have selected KDE and then want to select Gnome from KDE, the gui already shows Gnome as default, but to make it really change to Gnome, you need to first select KDE and then select Gnome. It will then switch to Gnome. The bug report listed above has this information.
