As a corollary, something that would allow /etc/X11/prefdm to not always be hand-edited for new options would be nice as well.
How about this one? Just create a /usr/share/xdisplaymanager/foo.desktop containing "Exec=/usr/bin/bar" and putting DISPLAYMANAGER=FOO in /etc/sysconfig/desktop will make it use that.
If DISPLAYMANAGER is set, we just exec that, so we don't need changes for that. It's the fallbacks at the end that require manual editing.
The other thing to we should do is to strongly discourage people from adding more of them to Fedora. There's not a really good reason for anything other than gdm and kdm to be included and supported.
