I have both KDE and Gnome on my Sarge. I have both kdm and gdm

What is the Debian correct way to bring up the Gnome desttop
on a system where both are installed?
   

you should be able to choose your desired session (gnome or kde) in
either gdm or kdm.
 

For example, in KDM (sid), there's a button on the lower right of the 
login manager window, which I think says something like "Options" or 
"Session Types"; within that button you can choose KDE or Gnome or icewm 
(assuming it's installed), etc. GDM has a similar option, only it's 
somewhere in the top menus.

You can also specify your preferred wm/environment in ~/.xinitrc, and 
then choose "Default" in KDM/GDM.
