Thanks,

Actually I have thought of this solution but I have an other line in the

desktop file: 'DESKTOP=icewm' but with this command it would be

overwritten.

No it wouldn't, >> appends to the file, it doesn't overwrite it.

So I have a nice script to check the desktop file and put the PREFERRED

thing into it if this line would not exist, and this script would go to

the %post part.

That makes it a little cleaner, but Chip's suggestion works just as well.  If the file already has a PREFERRED line, you will end up with two, but the new one will override the old one, so you still get what you want.

I was only curious whether there is any other solution.

Thanks again!

Do you simply need to add the line PREFERRED="icewm" to 

/etc/sysconfig/desktop?

If so, just put this in %post

echo "PREFERRED=\"icewm\"" >> /etc/sysconfig/desktop

Or

echo PREFERRED=icewm >> /etc/sysconfig/desktop

You don't need any of those quotes, and hence no quoting of quotes.
