Thanks for your help - that pointed me in the right direction. But there is a
bit more to it: Actually all the *desktop files were there and contained the
correct Exec and TryExec entries, but that didn't work.
I had to copy the relevant *.desktop files from /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions
into /usr/share/xsessions and now it works as it should.
Apparently this directory is now used by both KDM and GDM. The changelog
3.1.5->3.2. mentions:
KDM: More sophisticated session definitions, common with GDM
and GDM uses /usr/share/xsessions
