Just that, once you change you no longer get a pop-up asking if you want 
to change your default, it just does. And if going into KDE hangs you in 
a loop, you then use several "technical terms" you wouldn't want kids to 
hear, and go back to square one until you remember to change it back. If 
there's an easy way to start in another WM "just once" I haven't found 
it, a manual reset seems needed.

A minor issue, having KDE loop on sound is important, taking away the 
easy way to boot a WM just once is an annoyance.
