install xorg-x11-xinit-session and it should add an item to the session combo box in gdm for you to run that file. Confirming that xorg-x11-xinit-session provides the functionality I needed. That might be worth a mention in the release notes - I don't know if that RPM is flagged to install by default on a 9 install or upgrade. |
Description of problem: gnome-session-properties allows 3 zillion different Gnome options to be set, but there is no way to set a 'custom' session (specifically, one that gets you to this code in /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession: # otherwise, take default action if [ -x "$HOME/.xsession" ]; then exec -l $SHELL -c "$SSH_AGENT $HOME/.xsession" It insists on invoking that script with $1=='gnome-session' and there's no obvious way to change it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-session-2.22.0-1.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Some sites/users have special-case needs that are best addressed with a custom non-Gnome session. There should be some way to configure this.
