something like

 test -z "$DEFAULT_WM" && DEFAULT_WM=twm
 SAVEPATH=$PATH
 PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/gnome/bin:/usr/openwin/bin
 desktop=/usr/share/xsessions/${DEFAULT_WM}.desktop
 if test -s ${desktop} ; then
    wm=$(sed -rn '/^Exec=/{s@[^=]*=([^=]*)@\1@p}' ${desktop})
    WINDOWMANAGER=$(type -p $wm 2>/dev/null)
 fi
 if test -z "$WINDOWMANAGER" ; then
    WINDOWMANAGER=$(type -p ${DEFAULT_WM##*/)
 fi
 PATH=$SAVEPATH
 export WINDOWMANAGER
 unset desktop wm DEFAULT_WM SAVEPATH

with this we're sure that the variable WINDOWMANAGER will be have
a valid value even if something goes wrong with the desktop files.
Otherise a user specific window manager without a desktop file
would lead to an error.
