Please make sure you have menu-xdg installed. If you still do not see a ratpoison session in your display manager, please report a bug against your display manager. Ratpoison does not provide special gnome or kde functionality, so a desktop entry would be wrong. I do have menu-xdg installed. Apparently I also needed menu installed. Note that .desktop files do not specifically target GNOME and KDE; they simply provide a standard way to set up menu items and desktop sessions, similar to the Debian menu system but more widely used. In any case, while I do believe ratpoison should provide a .desktop file, I won't argue the point further, mostly because ratpoison hangs X to the point where Ctrl-Alt-Backspace won't work whenever I press C-t ? or some of the other key commands. However, please consider adding a Suggests for menu-xdg, and documenting how to make ratpoison actually show up as a session. Hopefully bug 431118 will get fixed at some point, which will make this issue go away. - Josh Triplett signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
