When I went through this the other day apparently the one true way to
provide .desktop files is to ship them in /usr/share/xsessions which gdm
reads. GDM's docs say KDM reads this too. Current KDM in Debian
doesn't but Chris Cheney said he'd fix it (#247365). KDM doesn't read
/etc/dm/Session either contrary to GDM's changelog.
So I think all you need is updated window manager packages which ship
.desktop files in /usr/share/xsessions and then they will appear in both
GDM and KDM.
