I think that's because /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
checks /etc/sysconfig/desktop which has Gnome as the default.

I don't have a .xinitrc, despite running KDE. In fact I haven't
changed /etc/sysconfig/desktop either (though it might be worth
trying). So something is setting it up, I just haven't worked out
exactly what.
Right, you wouldn't have one unless you created it since it certainly isn't needed
when
one is using a Display Manager such as gdm, kdm, or sddm.
This stuff is just too encrusted with historical hangovers, scripts
calling scripts calling scripts ... that it's quite a challenge to
figure it out.
Yeah. Well at least I now know how to start a given DE from the console and runlevel 3
if
need be.
