It does work and has been mentioned here several times in the past. Note
that F9 doesn't seem to include the file by default so you have to
create it, and of course know what to put in it. For KDE:
#!/bin/sh
DESKTOP="KDE"
DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"

I don't believe that any version of Fedora or RHEL populates a
file /etc/sysconfig/desktop but if present, it will be used.
My FC2 machine has it, and I didn't put it there by hand.
I'm pretty sure it used to be populated, but on F9 at least it's not
there by default. You have to create it.

Pretty sure it used to be populated? I'm sorry but I can't go back any
farther

$ rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/fstab
file /etc/fstab is not owned by any package
The fact that a file is not created by RPM doesn't mean
that the system doesn't install and populate it during
install. I certainly have edited /etc/fstab, but I didn't
create it or initially populate it. This may also be true
of /etc/sysconfig/desktop.
