According to my F9 box prefdm searches for a 
file /etc/sysconfig/desktop. If this file is available, it will be 
sourced in. If DISPLAYMANAGER is set within this file it will be 
used. On my box this works the way as I expected.

Until I have not misunderstood something, the way in F9 is the same as 
in F8.
