I have a "generic" script that I use for Sessions.  I pieced this
together for the TurboLinux gdm/enlightenment packages.  I had it
part of the gdm package, as Enlightenment (gdm required it) but
anything else could symlink it and it'd "do the right thing".

Frankly, I think the "do the right thing" logic is wrong and stupid
(especially for Debian, where Debian is much more flexible than TL)
and should probably be stripped, but it works for KDE I use it on my
Debian system (woody).

Just copy/symlink it with the name KDE and away you go.

The best parts are the SSH stuff and the resource loading.  Stolen
from various places: xinit/xsession and some stuff I saw floating
around for GDM.

Hope this is helpful.

Ciao!
