Description avx 2014-12-22 07:24:32 UTC 
The login manager SDDM (x11-misc/sddm) expects a WM/DE to put a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/.

The current fvwm-ebuilds don't do this, as a result, FVWM is not available in the list of sessions to chose from.

This can be easily fixed by creating /usr/share/xsessions/fvwm.desktop with content:
#snip
[Desktop Entry]
Name=FVWM
Comment=The F Virtual WindowManager
Exec=fvwm2
TryExec=fvwm2
Type=Application
X-LightDM-DesktopName=FVWM
#snap

Reproducible: Always
