I must be missing the point here, but I have always found that after installing multiple desktops and leaving gdm as the login manager, when you are asked for the password on login there is a little gear cog icon which if you click on brings up a menu of the different desktops you have installed - for instance I have CDE, GNOME, KDE ..... However, I am running FC21, but as I say this gdm feature has been around for as long as I can remember.
