why /etc/sysconfig/desktop is not a candidate for the job.
So how come it works for me and apparently many other people?

I'm under the impression that settings in /etc/sysconfig/desktop...

DISPLAYMANAGER=

has the effect of choosing which dm launches at next startup/launch of
runlevel 5

DESKTOP=

has the effect of choosing which desktop manager is the default for
users who haven't logged in previously.

I could be wrong and I've done no intelligent research on this but this
is what I think I have come to understand happens.

It appears that it gets checked a few times during boot, by

/etc/X11/prefdm
	kills RHGB if it's running, and
	sets the preferred display manager (gdm,kdm,xdm)
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xinput
	sets the preferred session manager (gnome,kde)
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
	this seems actually to execute the chosen
	session manager (gnome-session,startkde,wmaker)
