Bug 50732 – xfce menu entry in kdm

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Botykai Zsolt 2004-05-11 03:21:32 UTC]

I've just installed the brand new XFCE4 4.0.5 on my box, and I tried to login to it via kdm. But there were no menu entry for XFCE(4).
So I looked around a bit, and found this file: "/etc/X11/dm/Sessions/xfce.desktop". then I copied it to: "/usr/kde/3.2/share/config/kdm/sessions/" and on the next login it worked perfectly, there was the new XFCE4 entry.
I just think that would be better that "emerge xfce4" should put it there.

Reproducible: Always

xfce as of at least 4.0.6 installs a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions.
kdm should use session files from there. This is handled by #15315, 
redirecting there.
