gdm...I must be stupid.

[Ryan Betts]

i've gotta be stupid for not knowing this BUT i just installed XFce4 and
i cant add it to my gdm menu during the graphical login. i've tried
putting it in my /etc/X11/gdm/Sessons but it won't show up. Sorry for
such an easy question ;-)

Thanks
Ryan

The config files have been moved around a bit.

$ cat /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/XFce.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=XFce
Comment=XFce
Exec=/usr/bin/startxfce4
Icon=
Type=Application

GDM now uses /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/. You must create a xfce.desktop file
with something like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=XFCE4
Comment=This session logs you into XFCE4
Exec=startxfce4
Icon=
Type=Application
