I think it's gnome-session. Try KDM, to add a session you just go as root to
the appropriate dialog in kcontrol [System > Login manager > Sessions tab].
The session name is the name of the bash command you would use to invoke the
window manager in question. Thus add xfce if you want to run xfce, icewm if
you want to run icewm, and gnome-session for a gnome session. YMMV.
