Session menu for GDM login screen.

I'm running Fedora Core 1. I'm going to show you how to add the desktop in Session Menu for GDM Login Screen.

Example for xfce4 desktop:

1. Check that the following files exist:

/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/XFce4

2. Execute the following commands:

su

cd /etc/X11/dm/Sessions

cp gnome.desktop XFce4.desktop

3. Edit /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/XFce4.desktop

gedit /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/XFce4.desktop

On line ~58, replace

Exec=gnome-session

with

Exec=/usr/bin/startxfce4

Do a case sensitive replace (Ctrl R in gedit)

Replace GNOME with XFce4

Logout, and XFce4 will appear in the Session GDM menu.

it can be done on any desktop such as Fluxbox

i have not managed to get fluxbox added to my session list in fedora yet,

perhaps its because i upgraded from rh9 to fedora

any thoughts ?

cheers

do the same way as i explain for xfce4, so just change into fluxbox.

2. Execute the following commands:

su

cd /etc/X11/dm/Sessions

cp gnome.desktop fluxbox.desktop

3. Edit /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/fluxbox.desktop

gedit /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/fluxbox.desktop

On line ~58, replace

Exec=gnome-session

with

Exec=/usr/local/bin/fluxbox

Do a case sensitive replace (Ctrl R in gedit)

Replace GNOME with fluxbox

that should do. rh9 to fedora are just the same, they use gdm.
