Hmm, 

as far as I know, it works the same way as xdm does. I usually only update my 
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession script. This script is executable and gets the desired 
environment as a parameter. If you like, I can send you my file. It's mainly 
RedHat 7.1 Standard but I added the stuff for KDE2 myself since I didn't 
install the binary packages. RedHat usually only calls other scripts from 
there. They have them in /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.XXX where XXX is 
the ending for the environment. In those scripts everything you need to fire 
up the environment gets set/executed. 

The Xsession script also scans for .xsession in your homedirectory and falls 
back on this script if the environment you like isn't supported by the 
options within the file.

Cheers,

Richard

Unix IS user friendly, it is just selective about who his friends are.
