Description of Problem: User selects a session type (say kde) and logs in. From that point on, the "previous" session always shows up as kde, even if a different session is selected. How Reproducible: Consistently reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 7.2 with both kde and gnome. (I don't think this is significant, but our kickstart also installs fvwm and olvwm and adds these choices to kdmrc) 2. From the kdm login screen, start a session of type "kde". Note that .wmrc is owned by root and contains the string "kde" 3. Exit from the session 4. From the kdm login screen, enter the user name. The previous session is displayed kde - change the session type to gnome and start the session. Note that that .wmrc is still owned by root and contains "kde" 5. Exit from the session 6. From the kdm login screen, enter the user name. The previous session is again displayed as kde Actual Results: The previous session is displayed as kde Expected Results: The previous session was gnome, so that's what should have been displayed Additional Information: Manually changing the ownerhsip on .wmrc from root to the specific user fixes the problem - maybe whoever creates the .wmrc file in first place needs to change ownership to the user instead of leaving it owned by root.
