You need to create a new session .desktop file and place it in
/usr/share/xsessions (potentially the FHS /usr/local/share/xsessions may
work). Copy an existing one and point Exec= to your own script.

You script needs the following minimum contents:
metacity &
vm-kvm-what-command -fullscreen

You need a window manager to handle dialogs and metacity is the only sane
way to go for this. It has only gconf and and glib as dependencies.
