Do you mean a choice of Interfaces (kde, gnome, xfce, etc)? I yelled about 
this and Mandrake wrote me a python script to do it, based on the files in 
/etc/X11/wmsession.d. I screwed this out of them by copying and pasting the 
glowing promises in their 'welcome' email to the crashtesters list, and 
getting a particular programmer's back up.
[root at genius /root]# ls -l /etc/X11/wmsession.d

Have you got those?
It's called xtart, and boots any of those, and is now quite popular in the 
distribution. I only have the edition with personal abuse of me in it, which 
I can forward if you wish.
