Description of problem: Although the xinit-compat.desktop is installed, it's being completely ignored. I select "User script" at login time, and it ignores the contents of my .Xinitrc, and logs me in to a default GNOME desktop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-xinit-session-1.0.9 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter login name to gdm 2. Select "User script" from the menu at the bottom of the screen 3. Enter password Actual results: GNOME desktop :-( Expected results: 20 years worth of accumulated customized X11 goodness via .Xclients Additional info: When I first installed xorg-x11-xinit-session, all seemed fine, and I could log in to my chosen desktop as expected. However, I have an NFS mounted home directory, and when I logged into an older box (which also worked fine), it seemed to break logging in to F11, and I'm now unable to log in successfully any more. This is a major problem. I'm now effectively prevented from logging in, unless I cripple myself with an unfamiliar desktop.
