The XDM man page is a bit vague about this functionality but the default
Xresources file which ships with xdm has the support added.
I had removed it for liveslak but added it back in part now.
When entering your credentials and pressing ENTER, still the default X11
session will be started. But now instead of ENTER, when you press:
F1: failsafe session will be started.
F2: kde session will be started.
F3: xfce session will be started.
F4: fvwm2 session will be started.
F5: fluxbox session will be started.

Evidence in ~live/.xsession-errors:
XDM authorization key matches an existing client!
cinnamon-session: Cannot open display: .
Rationale copied from the page where I found the fix -
http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Re-ports-154502-x11-xdm-authorization-failure-when-used-with-E17-window-manager-td5819660.html
The cause is that the implementation of XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 is broken if
applications execve or unload/reload libX11/libxcb between connections
to the X server. More information can be found in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486606
Since it is unclear whether XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 will be fixed and if so,
where, I think it is best to disable it in xdm. It looks like adding
--disable-xdm-auth to xdm's configure flags will do this but I have not
tested it. I think the security impact is minimal; gdm does not use
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 either.
