The Computer-Crash after logging out has nothing to do with the gdm. If I change /etc/sysconfig/desktop from -----Begin original File----- DESKTOP="GNOME" -----End original File----- to -----Begin new File----- DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" -----End new File----- (Yes, the real Variablename is DISPLAYMANAGER !. DESKTOP IS WRONG SINCE REDHAT_8!) the kdm (KDE Display Manager) starts and the Computer crashes after logging out as well. So the Problem that is left as far as gdm ist concerned, is, that gdm does not recognize the (executable) Files in the /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/ Directory. Greetings Hanno (u13927) Sorry, DESKTOP is not so wrong as I said. It is used by th Script in /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients Greetings Hanno (u13927) I have just found out, that when I create a File /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/fvwm2.desktop similar to /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/gnome.desktop (that allready exists from the rpm-Gnome-Package), I get the Point FVWM2 in the gdm-Session-Menue. I have installed the original Fedora2-KDE-Package and there is no /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/kde.desktop. There is only a /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/KDE. Strangely the Point KDE appears in the gdm-Session-Menue. So there must be 2 different Ways to let the Menuepoints appear in the gdm-Session-Menue. I think, that there schould only be 1 right Way (how it is described in the gdm-Dokumentation), to "edit" the gdm-Session-Menue. I think, it is not good, that Fedora "invents" new Things, that differ from the original gdm-Documentation. It is difficult enough to read the original gdm-Documentation. I do not have the Time to learn special Fedorathings. Greetings Hanno (u13927) P.S. It is the first Time, that I have written Something into the Errata. It would be helpful, if I could edit my previous Writings, because there are a lot of Errors from my Side in there. I could so save the Readers a lot of Time reading senseless Words and the following Corrections. Hi Hanno, The second method you found is a new standardized way of adding items to the session menu (that works with display managers other than GDM). It is not in anyway Fedora specific. You were probably having problems using the original method because you may have forgotton to put execute permissions on your file. Hope that helps. |
