Description:   Opened: 2004-10-01 12:36 0000 
There should be a symlink from
/usr/kde/$VERSION/share/apps/kdm/sessions/kde.desktop to
/usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop where $VERSION is the KDE version number so
that new GDM versions show KDE in their sessions.

------- Comment #1 From Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2004-10-02 01:55:48 0000 ------- 
I see it's a recurring request here and on the forums (bug 45050, bug 47074, 
bug 40711), but I think the solution should be more general:

The current policy is that each wm puts a file in /etc/X11/Sessions/

I propose to either
- change the policy so that each wm puts a '.desktop' file 
  in /usr/share/xsession, or
- keep the policy, but make gdm create its own '.desktop' files from the files 
  in /etc/X11/Sessions, as kde currently does (see http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/kde-base/kdebase/files/3.3.0/Xsetup?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup).

What do you think?

I second the proposal to change the policy to install .desktop session files
in /usr/share/xsessions. That's the default, natively supported behaviour of
kdm and gdm today. /etc/X11/Sessions is a Gentoo-specific thingy that needs
extra code for kdm/gdm to work with it (and gdm doesn't have such code anymore
AFAIK).

Cf last three comments of bug 15315.

both kdebase and kdebase-startkde now install 
/usr/share/xsessions/kde-$ver.desktop.
