You can configure selectwm from inside it.  When selectwm starts, right
click in the large white box.  Select "add item..." from the menu.
Under "Description" type what you want to show up in the large white
box. Under "Command" type the command (or use Browse to find the window
manager).

If you want my .selectwmrc, it's:

  # Automatically generated file.
  # Do not edit (or make a backup copy before doing so)
  twm=twm
  uwm=uwm
  oroborus=/usr/bin/oroborus
  wm2=/usr/X11R6/bin/wm2
  ion=/usr/bin/ion
  ratpoison=/usr/bin/ratpoison
  delay:0.000000
  restart_selectwm:1
  default_wm:0
  goback_btn:1
