I don't have a ready answer for that. But instead I'll ask you a
related question.

If I have a serviced service stack which depends on some  httpd daemon
to operate correctly, and the service dependencies are generated to
make sure that one of the installed httpd daemon runs on start up. How
do I go about making sure that
one and only one of the following httpd servers of my choosing starts
up?  apache httpd or lighttpd  or cherokee

But how do we as administrators make sure that the non-default
webserver we want used is used in our init stack?  There's no
sysconfig for this is there?  There's no prefhttpd that fills the role
of the prefdm logic.

So what's the general solution for choice among equals among services
at init?  Is prefdm and /etc/sysconfig/desktop like constructions
really what we want to replicate as the best practice way of dealing
with this ?
