You beat me to the punch:
[root@test-centos6-vm ~]# head -25 /etc/X11/prefdm
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
# We need to source this so that the login screens get translated
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n
# Run preferred X display manager
quit_arg=
preferred=
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/desktop
if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = GNOME ]; then
preferred=/usr/sbin/gdm
quit_arg="--retain-splash"
elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; then
preferred=/usr/bin/kdm
elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = WDM ]; then
preferred=/usr/bin/wdm
elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = XDM ]; then
preferred=/usr/bin/xdm
elif [ -n "$DISPLAYMANAGER" ]; then
preferred=$DISPLAYMANAGER
else
quit_arg="--retain-splash"
