That's the more complex part. What you should do is creating .desktop files 
for each entry that contain the two lines

[Desktop Entry]
Hidden=true

This way the files shadow the defaults and the corresponding entry gets 
removed from the menu. When all entries are gone the menu will be gone too.

The trouble is twofold: first you need to figure out where to store the 
shadowed files. The default is $KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/sessions, but if that 
doesn't work you need a bit more magic to figure it out. The attached e-mail 
may give a hint or two.

The second problem is that you also need to get rid of the builtins. To do so, 
just create .desktop files like above with the same name (failsafe, 
default, ...) and those entries will automagically disappear as well.
