You can do it in drakconf, in "Boot" -> "Set up display manager", it should 
show you a list of installed DMs from which you can choose the default.

$ rpm -qi lxdm
should show you a field "Source RPM", but I think an RPM may not show a 
dialog or ask the user for input, all it can do is output some messages, for 
example saying that the user should go to drakconf to change the default DM.

But this is more an advanced user topic, as I think it is unlikely that a 
"normal user" will want to install another DM.
