Craig,

I am assuming that you want to continue using the default session 
manager with Fedora, GDM? I have recently accomplished this for 
several workstations of mine, but acquired the information from 
several sources. The most complete I found was here:

Be aware that the directions given above didn't quite work for me. I 
had to make some modifications, which unfortunately I haven't had the 
time to document. If you help on this, please contact me off-list and 
I will send you a reply with a copy of each of the scripts and configs 
modified to make it work. There was also an issue in getting GDM to 
accept XFce as a default. 'switchdesk' still only lists GDM, KDE and 
TWM as the only legitimate choices even though GDM has accepted XFce 
as the default DE/WM. Weird.

Paul
