I know I'm going to get flamed for this one... But here goes.

1st idea: Make Fedora strictly GNOME based.

2nd idea: Have two different ISO bases for GNOME or KDE

3rd idea: Split Window Managers / Desktop enviorments out to a disc3.
Then, you simply download: ISO 1 and 2, and then make disc3 WM/DE
dependent.  You could download: fedora_core-disc3-KDE.iso  or
fedora-core-disc3-GNOME.iso

Again, please don't read this in as KDE bashing, I think KDE is pretty
nifty myself.  I've used it for years at a time.  I simply think
worrying about different desktops, divides an effort to truly move
forward. 

The only reason I didn't suggest KDE was because Redhat^WFedora
currently defaults to Gnome.
