In your Gnome login screen just select "change sessions" and pick KDE4.  Then 
sign in!  It will ask you if you want to make it the default but I wouldn't 
do that till you are comfortable with KDE4.  Just pick "for this session 
only".  You also could have installed the regular KDE meta package and you 
would have a triple boot machine!  Even a quad if you also left that lame 
windoze on your machine!
