    Take a look at /etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config and at wdm's man page :
           DisplayManager.wdmWm
                  Is a colon separated list of window managers to use as
    options
                  in the login panel. Note that if you include the path
    to the
                  window manager, it will look ugly. You may set this
    resource to
                  None if you want only NoChange to appear.
