Not really. Put .Xclients into your home directory and from that you can
run whatever you want, without having to modify any system-wide file. I
run WindowMaker that way, despite having both Gnome and KDE installed.

Oh, and Red Hat provides switchdesk tool, that sets up ~/.Xclients for
you. It supports per-user switching between all of these: KDE, GNOME,
FVWM, Enlightenment, WindowMaker, or twm.
