[SOLVED] KDM: session type list

Hi,

I've removed some desktop alternatives like lxde and lxqt, but they are still on the SessionType list. I tried common sense and Google, but did not manage it. Everything I can find about the relevant configurations is way too obsolete. What's the current state of affairs?

Re: [SOLVED] KDM: session type list

Those sessions are not shipped with KDM, you must have added them yourself (probably symlinked to /usr/share/xsessions). Remove them from /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/

$ ls /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/
9wm.desktop        blackbox.desktop       fluxbox.desktop  ion.desktop              matchbox.desktop  phluid.desktop     twm.desktop     xfce4.desktop
aewm.desktop       cde.desktop            flwm.desktop     kde-plasma.desktop       metacity.desktop  pwm.desktop        ude.desktop     xfce.desktop
aewm++.desktop     ctwm.desktop           fvwm95.desktop   kde-plasma-safe.desktop  mwm.desktop       qvwm.desktop       vtwm.desktop
afterstep.desktop  cwwm.desktop           fvwm.desktop     larswm.desktop           olvwm.desktop     ratpoison.desktop  w9wm.desktop
amaterus.desktop   e16.desktop            gnome.desktop    lwm.desktop              olwm.desktop      sapphire.desktop   waimea.desktop
amiwm.desktop      enlightenment.desktop  golem.desktop    LXDE.desktop             openbox.desktop   sawfish.desktop    wm2.desktop
asclassic.desktop  evilwm.desktop         icewm.desktop    lxqt.desktop             oroborus.desktop  subtle.desktop     wmaker.desktop
$ 

This is a huge superset of my session type list. I am not sure this is the right place to edit.

Re: [SOLVED] KDM: session type list

Most of those files are provided by kdebase-workspace, LXDE.desktop and lxqt.desktop are certainly not. Do 'pacman -Qo /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/*.desktop' yourself if you don't believe it.

Thank you very much, arojas! pacman surprised me with its subtlety; I surprised myself with my ignorance. One has to RTFM. Now I know what I can delete with impunity; but something is responsible for the exact content of the session type list, isn't it?
