HOW2 on adding DE/WM to GDM session list???

krax · 2011-09-16 16:00:33

I want to know how could add the new session on gdm session list and what should I tweak and what should I add.

I use open box and GDM and this is in my ~/.xinitrc

 tint2&
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session

and in a login page of gdm I have gnome openbox gnome/openbox

now the main question here is how to add now DE/WM to this list.?

is there any way to add more than one "exec ck......." in xinitrc and how to add the new one accordingly in sgdm session list

GDM doesn't read from .xinitrc. You should probably check the wiki page for gdm.

You might want to check this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_Tips , or this http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/3.0/ … on.html.en . What are you trying to add? You stated that you use openbox and that there is already an entry for openbox in gdm? Just wondering. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. I don't use gdm or openbox personally, but I think openbox-session is for when you launch it without a display manager.
