From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: switchdesk 3.9.8 is incompatible with WindowMaker 0.80 (both in standard Red Hat 7.3 distribution. "/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Window Maker" runs /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession wmaker but switchdesk rpm contains a file /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.windowmaker instead of /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.wmaker Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install WindowMaker 2. Choose Session: Window Maker from gdm, 3. Log in with your username and password Gnome is run instead of WindowMaker Actual Results: Gnome is run instead of WindowMaker Expected Results: WindowMaker should be run Additional info: An easy workaround is: ln -s Xclients.windowmaker \ /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.wmaker I have just put it in my %post part, to save myself from patching the switchdesk source. Of course it's better to patch switchdesk sources _or_ WindowMaker sources, it's not clear which should be really patched.
