This is my solution, too... except I use blackbox.

I started out Linux with Fedora.  When I decided I liked KDE better than GNOME, 
I couldn't make the GNOME go away.  I would often see BOTH desktops appear at 
startup and shutdown (very uncool when running "older" hardware).  I went out in 
search of an OS that respected my preferences (I ended up with Debian).

Many moons have passed since then... perhaps Fedora is better about it these 
days.  But at the time I didn't hold out much hope.  Fedora is (or was) linked 
with RHEL, and the goal of RHEL is a uniform, controlled, stable, consistent, 
enterprise platform that will compete with Windows for business use.  While it's 
cool that someone's doing that... it's not what I want, so I jumped off.
