GDM does not save session preferences
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:33 EST
Description of problem: Before logging in via the GDM graphical interface, GDM does not save the "Session" choice. For instance, if I select KDE as my session and then after logging out and then log back in, it sets my session to the GNOME desktop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select KDE as your session at the GDM login screen 2. Log in with your user credentials 3. Log out of KDE 4. Don't select a session at the GDM and provide login credential. This will set your session to GNOME instead of KDE. Actual results: Logs into GNOME Expected results: Should log into KDE Additional info:
GDM saves them in .dmrc but does not read them on log in. See my comments in bug #109749 for more.
For me, changing "ShowLastSession=false" into "ShowLastSession=true" in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf seems to do the trick...
Fedora Core 1 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
