I have the same problem. Clean install from beta 2 ISOs. Mdkkdm shows all
display managers (gives the same list as chksession -l)

description: 
I switched to GDM for my display manager through the Mandrake Control Center. 
After restarting the display manager (or rebooting), an error message stating
that the session directory is missing or empty is displayed and you can only go
into failsafe mode at that time.

I was able to return to KDM by changing the run level in the terminal window to
not go to graphical login, rebooting, starting KDE and then running MCC to
change the display manager back (although in hind sight, I might have been able
to just run MCC in the failsafe terminal window, but I didn't try that).  

Anyway, anyone who tries to use GDM is not going to be happy that it breaks the
login process and then they have to jump through hoops to fix it.

BTW, this was on a clean install of 9.2 Beta 2.
