If it is kdm from kde3 (aka Sarge etc), there is a directory 
/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions fulls of kde desktop entry files, that are 
supposed to cover all the possible cases. kdm just looks if you have the 
corresponding manager (the entry TryExec in the file) an if yes, shows the 
session in the menu. Also in these files is defined what the seesion is doing 
(running).
