The files in /etc/gdm/Sessions are just shell scripts.  If you add a
shell script to that directory, it will show up in the gdm menu.  gdm
will use the scripts filename as the title of the menu entry.

The scripts can be as simple or complex as you like.  I added one for
windowmaker the other day, and it was just the bare minimum:

----Begin /etc/gdm/Sessions/WindowMaker
#!/bin/sh
exec wmaker
----End of file.

It works just fine.  I don't know if Libranet has any additional
conventions (such as merging the users ~/.Xdefaults file) or not, but
you should be able to determine that by looking at some of the other
scripts in that directory.
