And if I had installed Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu, KDE would already be the default without logging in first. The setting that makes this possible is what I am looking for. BTW, after I set /etc/X11/default-display-manager to /usr/sbin/kdm, the computer showed the Kubuntu splash on boot, used kdm for login and promptly gave the new user the Gnome desktop. I'm not spending any more time on this since I can just change it on a per user basis, as Tuna suggests. I just thought it must be some easy setting somewhere, and it probably is, but it's not easy to find.
