The kdmrc-variable SessionTypes is now invalid and the session menu contains always the same session types. The problem is I would like to add another menuentry for another session that is later on started in the Xsession script.

Does anyone know how and where to configure another session than the default ones for kdm?

Have a look into the directory

/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/sessions/

There are plenty of sessions prepared. If there is a .desktop file for your session, make sure that the "Exec" and TryExec" lines contain the path to your session start script. If there is no such .desktop file, create one with the appropriate contents.

Thanks for the answer. I already found the directory but was wondering why all those session did not show up in the kdm session menu. Well the path was the answer ...
