Red Hat comes with a tool called switchdesk. Have a look at its manual
page.

When using startx, startx starts xinit which can use your ~/.xinitrc file.
That file can have "exec startkde" as another way to do it.

(By the way, I think this was discuss on the list recently; have a look in
the archives.)
