Description Alexander Larsson 2003-08-28 16:00:01 UTC 
The new gdm uses a new common session format. To make gdm pick up KDE for its
list of session kde needs top put a /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/KDE.desktop file (note
the 'dm' is not 'gdm'), similar to the gnome.desktop one. The Exec= line in
there is the argument passed to Xsession.

could you please give more infos about the syntax of desktop file? thanks
Comment 2 George Lebl 2003-08-28 18:47:21 UTC 
The .desktop file is pretty much like the desktop files from
www.freedesktop.org.  Except only a subset of the functionality is used, for
example icons are not yet used, and TryExec is not implemented yet either.  The
Exec= line can additionally be 'default' (runs system default) 'custom' (runs
~/.xsession) or 'failsafe' (run a failsafe xterm).  In the rh Xsession, custom
and default would really be the same since by default we run a custom like
session.  KDM will at some point support the same setup.

The session desktop file used for gnome.

I haven't managed to build the new gdm just yet, so here I'm attaching how the
gnome session desktop file looks. I hope to get the new gdm built today.

it's fixed in kdebase-3.1.3-7.
