If you install windowmaker
using a fedora package, a menu at the bottom
of the gdm screen should appear. In this menu you
should be able to choose window manager.
(I saw the menu coincidentally after lots of
frustration trying to edit .xsession etc.)
If not, 'grep -r gdm /etc/*' gives:
...
X11/xdm/Xsession:# now, we see if xdm/gdm/kdm has asked for a specific environment
X11/xinit/Xsession:# now, we see if xdm/gdm/kdm has asked for a specific environment
...
X11/prefdm: preferred=/usr/sbin/gdm
X11/prefdm:exec gdm "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
...
So changing gdm to xdm in some of these files might help...
The file .xsession has the same setup as
.xinitrc, and as long as it
is readable and executable by gdm/xdm/kdm will be a valid session
choice as "user custom session" or some such. I just do a "ln -s
.xinitrc .xsession;chmod +rx .xsession" and that works just fine. If
you don't know how to set up an xinitrc just a single line saying
"wmaker" will work fine, since windowmaker has its own options to
invoke other programs for your session.
Well, before posting I did have WindowMaker installed,
I did have .xinitrc and .xsession which just contain
"wmaker". All of this is just ignored. I guess it's
one of the desktop *Kit things hijacking my machine.
There is no "Session" menu in GDM nor did I find a way
to have one.

well to remain inconspicuous... I also wonder why
my ~/.xsession was ignored.
I just removed gdm and installed xdm. Doing this
leaves you with audio devices owned by root/root
but that's easily corrected in udev (where this
should have been taken care of in the first place).
Now if I could get rid of PolicyKit and ConsoleKit
I'd be even more happy. We already have passwords,
PAM, udev, selinux and whatever else - the last
thing required IMHO is one more layer setting
access permissions.
