Hi Tom,
Very interesting find indeed. BTW, would you mind sharing these custom
sessions (especially the one with the real openssh agent)?
So, unless I'm mistaken, in order to summarize:
- if GDM is installed, the only proper way to get a session chooser is to
create /etc/sysconfig/desktop and switch to the KDE greeter.
- if GDM isn't installed, you get a session chooser by default (which
one?, btw).
To me, it looks like a typical case of 'More is less' where a
feature-extended system (full gdm) gives less 'features'. :) Not RedHat's
fault but bothering nonetheless..
my 2c,
Vincent

On my RHEL6 system there is no /etc/X11/gdm directory, instead GDM sessions

I've used it to create a couple of custom sessions, one that executes
~/.Xclients like it was done in previous RHEL releases, and one that runs the
gnome-session using the real openssh agent instead of using the poor
substitute provided by gnome-keyring.
