pindakoe Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I just noved from xfce 4.3.99.2 (RC2) to 4.4.0 final. I did this not by upgrading but by removing xfce completely and then re-installing 4.4.0 with urpmi. I then found that I didn't get back into Xfce on logging in. When checking the sessions I had in GDM I found 3 (beyond the normal previous and default) all called 'foo'. It was possible to starts xfce from level 3 by means of startxfce4. I (somehow) resolved this problem (cannot recall how), but would like to understand better how this works. Question: what defines the sessions I get to see in GDM (or KDM for that matter) when clicking the sessions button? Are these the files in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions or in /etc/X11/wmsessions.d? Is there any relation between the files in both directories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 The last time I checked the window manager or DE packages put a file into /etc/X11/wmsessions.d. That file was copied into the appropiate directories for GDM and KDM by a script. Note that it was quite a while ago and I'm not sure if it still works the same way.
