I too have noticed this prob.

A clean default install has  additional entries 
like XFce,gnome and sawfish  and they activate,
However if I upgrade XFce for instance it disappears. 
I can add the XFce entry into ;
/usr/share/config/kdmrc (under SessionTypes) 
but then it still doesn't activate, so;
I look in /etc/X11/ and see xdm and gdm but not kdm.
Yet in gdm there is XFce, gnome, sawfish but not executable
so chmod +x  XFce -----it turns green :)
But next gui login it doesn't work though you can see the entry and so forth 
By this time I get confused and do it with the console login !?

Any ideas anyone out there?
