Ok, still trying to correct the problem...I have fixed the "locale" error from
my first attempt but still have a problem with the WM selection box on the
graphical login screen.
I created the files listed below:
-------------------------
[/etc/X11/wmsession.d]
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 117 Mar 15 16:40 01KDE
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125 Mar 15 16:40 02Xfce
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 143 Mar 15 16:41 03IceWM
-------------------------
...and run 'chksession -l' and get this:
------------------------
chksession -l
Xfce default failsafe
------------------------
Now when I log in the drop box appears just like that - the three WMs listed
on one line, comma separated. Naturally this doesn't work and it defaults to
Twm again.
Perhaps something corrupted in the script which parses the three files above?
Perhaps tell me where that script is located and where to find it on the CD
so I can replace it?
