To be clear:  That's not after you log-in, but part way through.  Done
on the GDM or KDM screen, which is neither Gnome nor KDE, yet.

     1. Pick a username
     2. Pick the session type (Gnome, KDE, various others)
     3. Enter your password

The session type choosing device doesn't appear until you pick a name to
log-in as, since that session type will only apply to that log-in.
Which, of course, will preclude using this option for anyone who's set
up a passwordless log-in (which isn't, generally, a good idea, anyway).
