To add items to the Session Type menu, you need to add 'desktop' files 
in the directory specified in the: "SessionsDirs=" parameter in your: 
"kdmrc" file.

On my system, this is: "$KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/sessions" but your 
system might be setup differently.  There might already be a 'desktop' 
file for what you need.  If so, it will be activated when it can find 
the executable specified in: "TryExec=".
