Hi all, I'm running freebsd 5.1, and trying to use gdm login manager and xfce4. At
the login
username, if I login as root or a normal user, I get a SESSION MENU dialog box
CHOOSESESSIONLISTWIDGET and I can only choose 2 options DEFAULT/FAIL SAFE and CANCEL,
and nothing happens in either case.
Thank you
Hi Monah.
Try creating a file in /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/Sessions ( or maybe
/usr/X11R6/etc/dm/Sessions ) called xfce.desktop with these lines in it:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Xfce4
Exec=custom
That Exec=custom tells gdm to use your regular .xinitrc file to set up
the session, just like it would if you used 'startx'
So you would want something like this in ~/.xinitrc:
exec xfce4
I hope this helps
