Description Andreas Simon 2002-05-29 04:41:52 UTC

After installing Gnome there is no 'Gnome' entry in KDM or GDM. It would be  
nice to install a /etc/X11/Sessions/Gnome file, so that a nice 'Gnome' entry  
shows up in KDM/GDM etc. I think gnome-session would be the best place for 
such  
a Session file.  
  
Cheers,  
Andreas

Cloning gnome-core

Comment 2 Andreas Simon 2002-05-29 17:23:21 UTC

Regarding cloning that base/gnome-core/files/Gnome file: 
Some of those 'xrdb -merge' calls are allready done in 
the brand new X11/xdm/Xsession file from xfree-4.2.0-r11.

well, that day that sorrow.. file another bug ;) (preferably to the xfree
maintainer, I'm a lazy bastah  ;)

Comment 5 Andreas Simon 2002-05-29 18:32:51 UTC

No, not to the XFree maintainer ;) It's allright that it's done in Xsession,   
so it works for KDE, enlightment, etc too.
