Hi,
I have just installed Cinnamon. But I do not have any option for a Cinnamon session in KDM.
Cinnamon is installed and functioning.
Any idea why I wouldn't have it in KDM? Is it possible to add the option there manually?

No cinnamon.
$ ls /usr/share/xsessions/
cinnamon2d.desktop gnome.desktop kde-plasma-safe.desktop
cinnamon.desktop kde-plasma.desktop
I do not have GNOME installed though?
I do have options for Cinnamon and Cinnamon 2D while using SDDM instead of KDM.

What is the purpose of /usr/share/config/kdm/sessions/? Does anybody know? It is (and always has been) entirely empty on my machine so I'm curious what is is meant to be fore.

I cannot find a reason for this extra session folder. I assume it happened along the lines "What do you mean: We are not THE standard?".
