The list of availables Session Managers available with GDM is stored in /etc/X11/gdm. In previous releases, this directory was a link to /etc/gdm, where KDE session file is, but with the last release it's a real directory. I think you could move (or copy or link) your /etc/gdm/Sessions/KDE file to /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/KDE, but I didn't tested this solution ; you could also move all the /etc/X11/gdm stuff to /etc/gdm and recreate the link... If you want to switch from gdm to kdm, just replace the link /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm with a link S99kdm to /etc/init.d/kdm and that should be OK. If you try any of these, could you give me your feedback...?? Thierry
