Created attachment 25446 [details] updated ebuild from gdm-2.4.4.5, restore gentoo-emergence theme back. I modify the 2.4.4.5 ebuild from portage with some lines taken from previous 2.4.1.7 ebuild, and restoring back the gentoo-emergence theme. While found the SELinux compile option, do not add it, since I do not see a standard SELinux USE FLAG, so that was not included, but can be modified with the info found here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41022 Test it, but at lest it worked for me
Created attachment 25447 [details] revised ebuild, remove a line not need
I actually intended to add another theme (the cow one) as default from now on. selinux support was requested somewhere else and there is a USE flag or FEATURE (?). Can you provide a 'diff -u' version of your changes so i can check them out more easily ?
Created attachment 25491 [details, diff] gdm-2.4.4.5.ebuild to gdm-2.4.4.7.ebuild diff This is a diff against gdm-2.4.4.5.ebuild found on portage. Lines added were taken from gdm-2.4.1.7-r1.ebuild also on portage.
for selinux there is a config option, but since ufed do not show me a local or global selinux flag I just ignore it for the time being.
selinux flag got added on request of the selinux team in bug #41022 . Did recheck the patch, but it introduces a lot of stuff that i meant to clean out in the initial 2.4.4 ebuild, part of it has no function at all anymore. So i did some smallish fixes based on it and added a new theme (gentoo-cow), please feedback on that. In general i'm not too happy about the way we provide a gentoo theme now, it's not easily updated with improved translations. Best would be to create small auto* generated theme and work with that, keep it in our own hands and not just copy without a clue from other distros. I'm afraid we're going to get regressions this way. Adding other WMs on CC : the gdm session scheme has changed. Session .desktop's now go into /usr/share/xsession . Please adapt your ebuilds to follow this scheme for the benefit of your users (as i understand it, gdm is a favorite login manager). You can contact me on why & how (not that i'm an expert) or check the homepage, which has some good docs. As far as i understand it kdm is set to follow a similar scheme, so in the end it will be used by more than gdm alone. Of course leave current session schemes for gdm in place for compatability with older gdm releases. This release of GDM will stay in package.mask for another week or so for the WMs to add support. ps. CC wm/de's i forgot as pleases.
ok last notice, i'm removing this from p.mask later tonight.
Openbox and Fluxbox are updated, others will follow.
Not sure what has to be done for KDE, especially since I don't use kdm, but I'm sure someone will figure it out or start screaming eventually :)
Created attachment 27277 [details] add kde.desktop or a varient of it to /usr/share/xsessions this is file is needed to add a selection for kde to the desktop menu .. this one is fixed to use kde 3.2 .. adapt to suit one will be required for each version of kde installed it works
by the way that's to add a kde item to the gdm session menu selections
Looks like the changes are now in for XFCE4, cross off another popular one.

This is on someone else's shoulders - I don't use kdm.
Created attachment 27566 [details] Updated kde.desktop Updated kde.desktop to run the session from /etc/X11/Sessions as some people (like me) put extra commands in the session file before startkde.
caleb, your comment doesn't make much sense (?)
My gdm still hapilly gives the sessions that exist in /etc/X11/gdm/sessions which is just a symlink to /etc/X11/sessions
so whats the deal here kde ? is it done or not ?
Quote from gdm download directory: "LATEST-IS-2.6.0.1"
we know
It seems that the latest kdm and gdm versions have finally found some common ground. Both use desktop files for starting and describing sessions. Further both use a (their own) Xsession script for starting the sessions. These scripts include functions that source /etc/xprofile and ~/.xprofile, which is the place to put things that should start before a session.
and HEY!!!!!!! KDE 3.2.2 STILL doesn't do it with latest gdm You need a kde 3.2.2 .desktop for /usr/share/xsessions . I'd attatch mine, but you've got some workable stuff here. I've been having this problem since 3.2.2 came out. All you need is to version bump the kde.desktop up to 3.2.2 and drop it into the files directory of kde-base/kde-base, then fix the kde-base ebuild to install it. It may be wise to have a default kde xsession that just runs whatever startkde is in your path as well.
*** Bug 52523 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The gdm ebuild dropping an entry in /usr/share/xsessions for each wm is not the way to go IMO. kdm fills /usr/kde/3.2/share/config/kdm/sessions/ with .desktop entry by itself, reading the content of /etc/X11/Sessions/. It does that through /usr/kde/3.2/share/config/kdm/Xsetup: http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/kde-base/kdebase/files/3.2.3/Xsetup?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup maybe gdm should do something similar, not ignoring what's in /etc/X11/Sessions/? or (long term solution) we can start patching the wm ebuilds to drop .desktop entry in /etc/X11/Sessions/ instead of the executable files they install now. In this way kdm and gdm could just point there. see also bug 45050, bug 47074
I researched all this for myself before I became aware of this bug :-/ This is what I'm going to do to kdm, as posted to kde@g.o this morning, unless someone complains within a few days: - Install .desktop into /usr/share/xsessions - Use .desktop files from there, not from $KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/sessions - Drop the custom Xsession that generates files in $KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/sessions based on /etc/X11/Sessions, because we shouldn't be writing to /usr anyway (bug 15315) This means /etc/X11/Sessions will be completely disregarded. Ditto for /etc/X11/dm/sessions - only e16 seems to use that dir for .desktop files. - One day when we get rid of old kde versions (<3.3.0), the kdm-specific code in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 (installed by any xfree/xorg-x11 ebuild) should be dropped. --- Re: comment #24: I don't see why we should use /etc/X11/Sessions if /usr/share/xsessions is ineded more standard.
