Which base OS are you using, and which version?

I just did a quick test and built a minimal X session + kdm +  
enlightenment DR16 and was able to select that session type.

What I’d do from there is get a changed files list (feature in testdrive)  
and identify where the default session is set and save that change back  
to the appliance. Then rebuild the appliance with that change, and you  
should be in business.
