I don't have a directory called /etc/dm... I guess I could create those desktop-files in /usr/share/xsessions, but then again -- there already are 4 of them there, but KDM offers me more than four, so it really should get the list from elsewhere. Thanks for the tip, however. :-) I'll be glad already if it will indeed recognize the window managers when I add them in the above way.
