The session options are still there for kdm. If you're using gdm and for
some reason it doesn't offer the options (I don't use it so I don't
know) you can switch to kdm: create the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop with
the following:

#!/bin/sh
DESKTOP="KDE"
DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"

and restart X. Once in kdm you can select Gnome as your desktop :-)
