Description of problem: When logging into my laptop gdm is ignoring my chosen desktop and trying to load gnome only Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [dennis@athosian ~]$ cat ~/.dmrc [Desktop] Session=xfce Language=es_US.utf8 Layout=us [dennis@athosian ~]$ rpm -q gdm gdm-2.91.6-8.fc15.x86_64 with gnome-session-xsession installed i got a message about an invalid session, i dont have enough of gnome installed for it to run. when i removed it on login things would crash and id be returned to a gdm login screen. for kicks i copied /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop to /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop and was able to login correctly. so it seems that gdm is only attempting to start gnome currently
