Ok, here's the situation. Here at work, my boss wants us running gdm on our linux boxen so that our users have a way to choose different environments (xdm chooser is a pain to setup). Well, much to my dismay, gnome seems to completely ignore ones .xsession file and pops up running in gnome when you choose the default login (this is on RedHat 6.2, BTW). What I need, is a way to tell gdm to just start fvwm2 _without_ gnome when the user chooses the default session. So far, I've setup the following: in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions [root at xxx Sessions]# ls -l Fvwm2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46 Aug 11 13:33 Fvwm2 [root at xxx Sessions]# cat Fvwm2 #!/bin/bash exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession fvwm2 root at xxx Sessions]# ls -l default lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Aug 11 13:33 default -> Fvwm2 Unfortunately, this just does what I described above - fvwm2 on top of gnome. Now, I know little about gnome, so that's why I need your help. Is there a way to have gdm just load fvwm2 _without_ gnome? I'd prefer a way to set it up in a users home directory - maybe a .gsession file? I'm not sure if gdm has this capability. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
