Cory,

Using XFce4 as an example

1. Create a startup script--like what you may have used for .xsession or
.xinitrc--as /usr/bin/startxfce4 (needs to be executable)

2. Create a file /etc/X11/wmsession.d/19XFce4 (1-18 are reserved by
Mandrake; start with 19 and keep going up if need be) containing: 

NAME=XFce4
ICON=xfce4.png
EXEC=/usr/bin/startxfce4
DESC=The bleeding edge
SCRIPT:
exec /usr/bin/startxfce4

3. Edit /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and add XFce4 to the list of
SessionTypes. This is case-sensitive and needs to be the same as NAME
above.

Step 3 may or may not be necessary; I found I had to do it to get it
working with KDM.

I have done this with fluxbox, pekwm, xfce4, and oroborus without any
problems.
