You need to create two new files.  So, the first one you created was
correct.  

Second one, go to /usr/share/xsessions
type
kdesu kate beryl-kde.desktop

This will create a new file as root in the /usr/share/xsessions
directory named beryl-kde.desktop

Copy the content of the file I wrote in the previous message in here.
Save the file, and close kate.  Logout to KDM.  Now there should be a
session available called Beryl-KDE
