Description of problem: No option to select an alternate desktop Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-3.0.4-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create $HOME/.Xclients 2. Install xorg-x11-xinit-xsession 3. Log in Actual results: Unable to select "user script" anywhere, so get default gnome desktop. Expected results: Dropdown box to select "user script" as my desktop choice, as in previous versions of Fedora. Additional info: In previous versions of Fedora, I could easily have my own desktop, one that I have used for nearly 20 years and am extremely comfortable. Until I can do this with F15, it is essentially unusable to me.
Hmmm... OK, I now have this, but only after a reboot. Installing xorg-x11-xinit-xsession and logging out was not sufficient. This is extremely unintuitive, although not as critical as I previously thought. I don´t seem to have the ability to drop the severity for this bug, however.
Thank you for your bug report, however is not actually a bug. GDM had to restart after installing xorg-x11-xinit-xsession. This is why your reboot fixed the issue. In the future, if you need to restart gdm you can issue "service prefdm restart". Thank you. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
