Bug 17177 – Command line desktop environment selector for X

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ryan Grange 2003-03-09 19:23:07 UTC]

This Python script is an alteration of Mandrakesoft's Xtart program.  It's very handy for 
trying out different desktop environments from the command line or bypass the need 
to wait for kdm/gdm/xdm to start before logging in.  You can login at the CLI and then 
fire up the desktop of your choice. 

Reproducible: Always

The attachment dsx-0.1 goes in the files directory of x11-wm/dsx.

Does this perform the same function as editing XSESSION in /etc/rc.conf?
Sounds like it from your description.
