AFAICT from looking at Gentoo and Redhat, the standard is to keep that
information in ~/.dmrc . That file contains:

[Desktop]
Session=kde-3.5

....in Gentoo, with Session=default in Redhat. It should be trivial to
run sed on that file at any time and change the default session to
whatever you want.
