If this were a Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora system, you would simply
modify /etc/sysconfig/desktop and tell it DESKTOP=KDE. But it's not and
my knowledge of buried bodies on Ubuntu is limited.

You could put an .Xclients-default into each users folder - even
in /etc/skell so that it was there with each user you create
