Linux KDE & GNOME question

If he is using the standard display manager installed as part of 
Mandrake, he can just choose KDE from a popup menu when logging in.  No 
need to restart or anything.  I think the GNOME display manager has 
something similar (most *NIX systems do anymore; Solaris does, IRIX 
does not).  As long as he has both installed, it's just a matter of 
picking one when logging in.
