Redhat moved its display manager info to a generic spot with fedora in /etc/X11/dm. Im using enlightenment and also running xscreensaver when I start up e and this is my setup which should be similar to yours.
Created an enlightenment.desktop file and added it to /etc/X11/dm (see attached file). This has a line "Exec = Custom". You could instead actually put your executable for starting up windowmaker here (look at the other .desktop files in this directory). However when it is set to custom it will then go dig up your ~/.Xclients file and run what you have there.
My .Xclients file looks like this:
############## Start of .Xclients file ###################### #!/bin/bash
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver -no-splash -display :0 & exec /usr/bin/enlightenment
############### End of .Xclients file #######################
Put an ampersand after everything except windowmaker - it needs to run in the foreground until you close it down.
Best of luck, Daniel Stonier

Can anyone tell me how to add sessions in Fedora i.e. the files the graphical session changer relies upon & how to edit them. I am not getting some of my installed desktops in the graphical session list(eg. WindowsMaker present from the time I used Redhat 8 before upgrade). I am also not being able to interchange between GNOME and KDE from the graphical sessions manager(I can choose any of them as default desktop though and interchange the default desktop from "Desktop switching tool" after logging in.). I can of course choose to any of the other alternative desktops displayed in "sessions" menu in the graphical login screen.
All is perfect in text mode login.
