KDE -<OR>- GNOME, not both

I installed and new Red Hat box and chose to install both KDE and GNOME.  I 
haven't used GNOME hardly at all so I thought it would be nice to switch 
between the two once in a while.

Well, now when I load KDE, all the GNOME libraries load too, and vice versa.  
The play box is just a 200MHz Pentium and X crawls as it swap-thrashes the 
hard drive with essentially both of the desktops loaded.  Sure it's neat to 
use GNOME apps in KDE but I don't want to do that.

How do I set it up so that when I load KDE, I don't get GNOME too and when I 
load GNOME, KDE stays out of my memory?
