Sorry, I don't have my sarge box here. In essence, each "session" in gdm is defined by .desktop file in /etc/dm (IIRC). What I think I did is I setup one called custom.desktop that basically sources the user's .xsession. This way you can decide at anytime whether to use your handcrafted session or use a default gnome, kde, icewm or whatever session. If you don't manage by tomorrow, I'll try and see what I did exactly. Cheers, T. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
