I use kdm, on RH7.1 based machine.
I have added equinox, and a couple of others at some time or another.


First you must add an entry in the /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession file

<CLIP FROM Xsession>

# now, we see if xdm/gdm/kdm has asked for a specific environment
case $# in
1)
 case $1 in
 failsafe)
 exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
 ;;
 gnome)
 exec gnome-session
 ;;
 kde|kde1|kde2)
 exec /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.kde
 ;;
 windows)
 exec /bin/win -g 1280x1024
 ;;
 twm)
 # fall back to twm
 exec /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.twm
 ;;
 equinox)
 # Use equinox desktop
 exec /usr/bin/startede
 ;;
 esac
esac

</CLIP>

Look for above section and then add a case statement like I have for equinox.

Then, if using kdm, log in as root, run the kde control center, select

System->Login Manager

select Sessions

Under Session types, add a new type name that matches the name you used in
the case statement... e.g. equinox

Then save it all, exit, restart X and hopefully you will be able to select it
from the list.

There is probably other ways to do it, but this is what worked for me.
