You have to create new session files for gdm. Session files are located
in "x11confdir/gdm/Session/" directory. For RedHat x11confdir location
is "/etc/X11". If you have no "/etc/X11/gdm" directory, most common
other places are "/etc/gdm", "/usr/etc/gdm" or "/opt/gnome/etc/gdm".
For example to add pure WindowMaker session entry in RedHat distro you
have to make file "/etc/X11/gdm/Session/WindowMaker" containing:
--- file starts at line below
#!/bin/bash -login
wmaker
--- file ends at line above
If you want make real session with error loging and such please use
session file "Gnome" as a template.
