The display manager is the same for all users. As for the desktop,
AFAIK it is controlled by the ~/.dmrc file, per user. For example, I
have the following:

$ cat ~/.dmrc

[Desktop]
Session=kde
Language=en_US.utf8
Layout=us

If there is no .dmrc file in the user's home directory, the setting
from /etc/sysconfig/desktop is used as a default.

HTH, :-)
