I don't know anything about switchdesk.
1. To create a new desktop definition, copy
/etc.X11/dm/Sessions/gnome.desktop to ... yourfavorite.desktop and
edit to change the GNOME values to YOURFAVORITE and set the correct
executable name.
2. In order to set the default desktop to something other than GNOME,
go to /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and set the value below (default is
false):
ShowLastSession=true
3. Login as YOURFAVORITE, and gdm will ask you if you wnat
YOURFAVORITE as the default desktop choice.
Enjoy
