Description Mike Lee 2003-11-10 12:44:50 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

GDM saves them in .dmrc but does not read them on log in.
See my comments in bug #109749 for more.

Comment 2 Richard Gill 2004-08-18 14:08:16 EDT

For me, changing "ShowLastSession=false" into "ShowLastSession=true"
in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf seems to do the trick...

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2005-05-11 18:12:47 EDT

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.
