On my desktop, I ditched the display managers as well, since sometimes are 
really in a hurry ;-) The point is that sometimes i don't wnt to enter X at 
all, just to get the latest mails,  so i do a single command invoking a 
script that does in turn proceed ppp, fetchmail, then gnus/emacs.

After booting, i type in my username (which is rather short ;-)
and get the prompt.  Set PAM login to ask not for a passowrd (with the 
'passwd' command).

To enter X i type  'X' which in my case is an alias for 'startx &',
which does some configuration stuff (look it up in `which startx`)
and executes ~/.xsession, where i put some lines defining a $realstartup 
depending on conditions,  plus an 'exec $realstartup'.

afaicr 'alias' doesn't allow to pass parameters.
Simply i don't need it, but you could make it a command-script, to invoke 
different session types.
