It is distribution-dependant.
Generally, GDM and KDM4 both have a search path that includes
/usr/share/xsessions/ , so I put the files there.
But sometimes (on Mandriva-derived distribution), there are
specific tools and locations that must be used ...
Thank you.
Would you please itemize those locations?
From what I have read, /usr/share/xsessions is more or less a
default location.
Thus far I know of the following:
/etc/X11/sessions
/etc/kde/kdm/sessions
/usr/share/xsessions
/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions
/usr/share/config/kdm/sessions
/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession
/var/lib/menu-xdg/xsessions
I am curious about other login managers, such as SLiM and LightDM.
I am gathering information for bug report 1934.

With TDE I am putting it in /usr/share:

On Arch I also find

/usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop (old)
/usr/share/xsessions/openbox.desktop
/usr/share/xsessions/sawfish.desktop
/usr/share/xsessions/wmaker.desktop
and links in /usr/share/xsessions pointing to:

/usr/share/e16/misc/e16-kde.desktop
/usr/share/e16/misc/e16.desktop
/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/kde-plasma-safe.desktop
