How to add a destop to GDM.

Hello

How do you add another window manager in GDM.
I want to try windowmaker.
I did a pacman -S windowmaker.
Exit xfce4.
And the choice of windowmaker is not in GDM.
What file do i need to edit to get it ?

Thanks

Take a look in /etc/X11/sessions.  You can add a file in there for wmaker.

FYI, we've been trying to add these session files to all of the window managers, but I guess wmaker hasn't been updated yet.
