Login on KDE

Hi all.
As I wrote elsewhere, I'm a Debianist but I come in peace, please don't kill me.
We have a few CentOS 6 on dual-boot at work, I asked about upgrading them to CentOS 7 and was answered "yes, if it still possible to use Marionette on KDE".
Since I don't know which Marionette they're talking about (apparently there are many softwares named Marionette, none in the official CentOS repositories) I logged on one of the CentOS 6 computers to find what they are using, but not only didn't I find Marionette on it, I couldn't log on KDE.
When I log in, I'm in Gnome 2. There are a lot of KDE applications in the menu (like Konsole) so I guess that KDE is actually installed, but it's not offered as an option on the login screen.
I looked on DDG and what I found was either to use the button on the bottom left of the login screen (there is none) or to go to "Applications" and select Desktop Switcher, which I wasn't able to find anyway.
Since it's a CentOS 6 and the repositories have been removed by RedHat, I can't install anything on it...
Any solution ?
