Your problem is not the file kdmrc. This file is no longer used to show 
the selection of available WMs. kde3.2 uses .desktop files in 
$KDEDIR/share/apps/kdm/sessions to determine wether a WM is available 
or not. In these files there is a entry called TryExec. On startup kdm 
checks whether the command in TryExec can be executed. If yes, the WM 
is displayed in the entry, if not ... . If you chose one of these 
entries from kdm the Exec part of the .desktop file is passed to the 
xsession script (defined in kdmrc).
