Absolutely.
1) make sure there is a relevant file in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions
This is what defines the entry in the 'Sessions' Menu for gdm.
It must be executable.

e.g.
#begin /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Enlightenment
#!/bin/bash
exec  /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession enlightenment

2) create the necessary Xclients.[windowmanager] file in 
/usr/share/apps/switchdesk
(I often find that WMs installed using rpm create this one anyway)

e.g.
# begin /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.enlightenment
#!/bin/bash
# (c) 2000 Red Hat, Inc.
exec /usr/bin/enlightenment


(the easiest way to do this is to copy an existing file to a new name and then 
edit it as required)

Kind Regards

Stuart
