Well, I know this one, the official way is through the update-alternatives
command (some examples):
# /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display x-window-manager
x-window-manager - status is auto.
link currently points to /usr/bin/kde2
/usr/bin/gnome-session - priority 400
/usr/bin/sawfish - priority 20
/usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker - priority 7
/usr/X11R6/bin/afterstep - priority 2
/usr/X11R6/bin/9wm - priority 6
/usr/bin/X11/wmaker - priority 400
/usr/bin/kde2 - priority 800
/usr/bin/startkde - priority 800
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/kde2.
* /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-window-manager
windower /usr/bin/gnome-session 1100
