gdmlogin 2 issues

[jonathan chetwynd <jc signbrowser org uk>]

Hi I am currently switching from kdm to gdm, however i cannot get the
user.xpm files to show at login.
one of me is attached, as is the current gdm.conf.
There are ~ 12 users who are developing reading,writing and computer
skills.
all the .xpm files without extensions are in a file /usr/share/faces.

how can I ensure that no session is selected, ie I wish to be able to
start most users in Icewm and yet be able to have some running kde or
gnome? I've tried creating /.gnome/gdm files, but this does not seem to
work, how can i be sure that no session is selected at login, even if by
default?
