What I first did in this situation was to add the sessions i wanted into /etc/X11/kdm/kdmrc or create an *executable* shell script ~/.xsession. --- /etc/X11/kdm/kdmrc --- ... SessionTypes=default,kde2,icewm,startxfce,enlightenment,failsafe ... --- A better way is to read and understand kdm(1), at least the manpage in woody is very informative. To set the default wm i think calling 'update-alternatives x-window-manager' or so is the right thing.
