Thanks to both Rodrigo & Bryan, however, I still need to know how I can run both desktops. The session/options is confusing. Do I need to edit the/etc/init.d/kdm & gdm files?

No there is no need, in the login screen you can choose, either gnome or kde, you can't run both at the same time, but you could use prohrams from kde in gnome and from gnome in kde
