It is indeed executing /etc/X11/Xsession for all chosen options, but from looking at the script my understanding is that $startup (later $real-startup) has the following value: kdm option kde2: kde2 kdm option default: $HOME/.xsession kdm option failsafe: x-terminal-emulator only $startup is executed: if it's kde2, $HOME/.xsession is not executed. Now if such a file (`which kde2` or $HOME/.xsession) does not exist it tries to execute x-window-manager and if that does not exist it executes x-terminal-emulator and if that does not exist it complains.
