Wait... As for me kdm-3.5.13 parses desktop files located in the /usr/share/xsessions/ and displays KDE 4 session as "KDE plasma workspace". If r14 doesn't this is a regression.
TDM recognizes /usr/share/xsessions/ in R14 too. I recall I raised that issue and was part of the testing.
That said, the KDE4 session desktop files are not installed in /usr/share/xsessions/. They are installed in /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/, which is why TDM does not find the files. :)

Wouldn't it be better to expand the TDM search paths to include /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/ then?

It's Slackware kde4 packaging issue, isn't it? If so, why don't you add those files during the packaging? IMO it's better then making other distributions witch follow standards install trash they don't need...
