This is not the /right/ way to solve your problem, but it should work: You can create a custom xsession configuration pretty easily -- I had this problem recently with Fedora 15 (I wanted to use xmonad as my WM), and blogged briefly about it so I could find the solution again: http://creswick.github.com/blog/2011/11/07/xmonad-in-fedora-15/ You'll want it to point to the xsession executable instead of xmonad, so something like this may work: /usr/share/xsessions/xfce4.desktop: [Desktop Entry] Name=XFCE4 Comment=Window manager Exec=/usr/bin/startxfce4 Type=Application Once that's created (as root) you'll need to log out, but that should be it. --Rogan _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
