Did you actually verify that it was installed the first time? In other words, did you actually use it and verify it was working before rebooting?

Sooo, the problem isn't rebooting, it's using different window managers? If you keep using either KDE or GNOME, does it still ask you to re-install it (i.e. if you log out of KDE, then back in, can you still use it, likewise, if you logout of GNOME then back in, can you still use it)? Did you install it as root?
