install KDE > select session?

     In my experience, it only shows up after you enter your user name and you select it before entering your password. Good luck with it, though... KDE 4 doesn't work well for me. Wish it would, but seems to have issues (I THINK with my sound configuration) so it crashes too often to be any good.

Oh, it did work after a restart (so not just logging out and back in). Although it didn't look anything like 'options > select session'. Just some icon that pulls down a list in which I found KDE.
However, what I have now looks nothing like the KDE I'm used to. It's KDE, though, because there's the K startbutton. Is it a completely new version? For example, through right-clicking on the panel I used to be able to get to a long, well-ordered list of options. Now there's just a handful, not including the option to put the panel on the left. where I like it to be. What I liked about KDE is the configurabilty of it. Is that gone now? Or could I maybe install an older version, to get all the options again?

 Good questions. You'd probably lose a lot of newer features if you
installed an older version (if it's even possible), but I agree that I
liked the older versions better myself. I prefered KDE when I was using
FC2 - whatever version that was - over the modern one for similar
reasons. I expect by now you've explored the K menu and found it is
more difficult to get around. I think, though, that you questions are
best asked within KDE; try their website at http://www.kde.org/ and see
what you can find.
 Incidentally, I tried again on KDE fairly recently and found one of the
things missing was the new links in Gnome for Cloud computing and such.
They just don't seem to be available in KDE. The choices, the
choices....
