Description Arnaud Abélard 2004-01-23 19:56:39 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031202

Description of problem:
After installing fluxbox (from rpm or from source) switchdesk,
switchdesk-gnome and switchdesk-kde won't list fluxbox and so won't
allow you to select it as default windows manager (even though after
selecting it in gdm it's telling you to use switchdesk to mark fluxbox
as your default WM)

I made a patch to add fluxbox in switchdesk*

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
switchdesk-3.9.8-18 switchdesk-kde-3.9.8-18 switchdesk-gnome-3.9.8-18

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install fluxbox from source or from rpm
2.when logging in gdm, choose fluxbox 
3. once you logged in, use switchdesk fluxbox ("unknown desktop" is
returned) or fluxbox-gnome (or -kde) and fluxbox won't be listed
    

Actual Results:  fluxbox can't be set as default WM

Expected Results:  fluxbox should appear in switchdesk-*
