Comment 1 Phil Copeland 2002-05-24 11:32:48 EDT

Mike, isn't /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession part of xinitrc?
any chance of this two liner being dropped in? Or am I expected to munch
Xsession on install of WindowMaker?

Comment 2 Peter van Egdom 2002-07-14 16:57:56 EDT

Selecting "Window Maker" from GDM still starts GNOME instead of Window Maker in
the latest beta version of Red Hat Linux (Red Hat Linux release 7.3.92 (Limbo)).

Comment 3 Peter van Egdom 2002-07-31 14:11:00 EDT

This bug also happens in the latest Red Hat Linux beta (Limbo 7.3.93)

Comment 4 Peter van Egdom 2002-08-21 14:46:48 EDT

Seems to be fixed in the latest Red Hat Linux ('null').

Thanks!
