On a standard Red Hat system, the /etc/sysconfig files are part of the
initscripts package. The documentation for this packages includes a document
about setting for the sysconfig scripts.

On a local box, that file is:
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.45.17.EL/sysconfig.txt

Here's what it says for desktop:
/etc/sysconfig/desktop:
  DESKTOP=GNOME|KDE
     This determines the default desktop for new users.
  DISPLAYMANAGER=GNOME|KDE|XDM
     This determines display manager started by /etc/X11/prefdm,
     independent of the desktop.
