This has been gone through a number of times on this list In /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/sessions are a number of .desktop files. When kdm launches the logon screen it runs through those files to see which ones refer to something that is present on the system. If it's present, it will show it in the list. So if there's something there you don't want shown, remove the desktop file. If there's something not there that you do want shown, copy one of them to a new file and edit the relevant settings, it's a pretty simple format

Re: [SLE] What file do I amend?
Thank you for your quick response. I wonder why KDE changed the approach to session management from using kcontrol/system adminstration/ to this approach (which is not noted in the KDE or SuSE help materials, so far as I know). Thanks again dj tuchleer

They wanted a standardized system so kdm, gdm and any other display managers could benefit from a single config file. This new system is designed under the auspices of freedesktop.org. Standardized config files for all desktop systems are a good thing, no? I agree that it is well hidden. The first time I saw it (when gdm switched to the new system, in the 2.3 development series) it took me ages to find out what was going on
