Thank you for being such a helpful individual. I have noticed how
often you have a solution for so many different people. Menus aren't
causing me a problem but you might be able to help with the Mandrake
specific information I need. Another user responded that Mandrake
determines the available sessions each time the system boots by
calling a couple of routines that check a master list of available
window managers. Since Helix doesn't know to register with that
master list all the changes it made to the current session list
disappear when someone reboots. The individual who explained this to
me didn't tell me the location of that master list of available
environments that Mandrake checks at boot time. If you know the
location of the list, or if you know someone who might know the
location of the list, I could manually edit it and get back gnome as
a choice in gdm. Everything else is working perfectly, if I come up
at runlevel 3 and use startx and .xinitrc to get into gnome I don't
have any problems. I would like to use gdm, it's just a little more
convenient, so this manual fix would resolve the issue for me nicely
until the Helixcode and the Mandrake people sort out the overall
installation issues.
