Cinnamon & GDM

I cannot see anywhere telling me how to run cinnamon when logging in via GDM. I'd also like to be able to have different users use different desktop environments. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Cinnamon & GDM

The wiki doesn't provide enough information. I checked that first.

I use GDM and I have no idea how to choose cinnamon from there. It just automatically boots to gnome.
Graphical log-in

Simply choose Cinnamon or Cinnamon (Software Rendering) session from your favourite display manager. Cinnamon is the 3D accelerated version, which should be normally used. If you experience problems with your video driver (e.g. artifacts or crashing), try the Cinnamon (Software Rendering) session, which disables 3D acceleration.

I take that back. Its too easy as there is nothing to update. You just choose whatever you desktop environment you want.
