hey i did uncheck "desktop" and check "laptop" apart from the "standard" indeed. i just installed gdm now and things got a little bit more GUI-y, but i still need help: when i get the graphical prompt, i can change the session, or run a bunch of actions, but i don't see "xfce4 session" in any of those menus. im probably missing something really obvious... tips?
