Description Bugzkilla 2004-06-04 03:29:54 UTC
Description of problem:
the lack of $DESKTOPMANAGER variable in /etc/sysconfig/desktop makes 
it difficult to switch X _session_ managers. changing $DESKTOP to 
switch X _window_ managers works fine but $DESKTOPMANAGER should be 
set there as well, as it's being read later in another config file

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
n/a
  
Actual results:
inability to switch X session managers easily

Expected results:
setting $DESKTOPMANAGER in /etc/sysconfig/desktop would make it easy 
to switch between X session managers.

correction: the variable name should be $DISPLAYMANAGER

Comment 3 Bugzkilla 2004-06-04 21:48:19 UTC
actually,  it would be better - for consistency and logic - to name
this variable $DESKTOPMANAGER instead of $DISPLAYMANAGER

Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated.
