Starting KDE if it's not the default Session Manager

I use to run XFCE as my windows manager on my laptop as it is fast. However, from time to time a real user interface is much nicer to use, and in this case KDE is my choice. Still, I don't want to reconfigure my system every time I want to start KDE, thus I use the following command to start it manually:

xinit /etc/X11/Xsession startkde

(KDE does not seem to provide a start script like XFCE does on Debian.)

To reconfigure the window manager, run the following command as root and select the desired session manager.

update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
