 <title>GNOME no longer available as a session option in GDM</title>
 <body>
=20
-<note>
-This section should only concern users of the GNOME overlay. Users who h=
ave been using GNOME 2.22 from Portage should be fine.
-</note>
-
-<p>
-GDM uses the files available in /usr/share/xsessions/* to figure out whi=
ch desktop environment options the user will be able to select from the "=
Sessions" menu.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-In GNOME 2.20, the file /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop was installed=
 by GDM, which causes a lot of headaches. For instance, if you want to us=
e another login manager (such as KDM or Entrance) capable of reading .des=
ktop files but still use a GNOME session, you would have to install GDM e=
ven if you never used it.
-</p>
-
 <p>
-In GNOME 2.22, that small issue was fixed and the gnome.desktop file is =
now installed by gnome-base/gnome-session (which is the actual program la=
unched by the login manager to start GNOME).
+GDM uses the files available in /usr/share/xsessions/* to determine whic=
h
+desktop environments the user has installed and will be able to select f=
rom
+the "Sessions" menu.
 </p>
=20
 <p>
-The problem is that Portage can sometimes fail to handle file collisions=
 properly (file collisions happen when to packages install the same files=
) and may delete the gnome.desktop file altogether. To fix the issue, jus=
t remerge gnome-base/gnome-session.
+The appropriate file for GNOME is now provided by gnome-base/gnome-sessi=
on-2.22
+instead of gnome-base/gdm, and due to this there are appropriate package
+blockers in place to avoid file collissions leading to this session file
+getting lost. The only thing that can go bad is that gnome-session does =
not
+get upgraded to 2.22 after it was uninstalled to resolve the gdm upgrade
+blocker. The symptom would be the lack of a GNOME choice in the GDM
+"Sessions" menu, in which case please check that you have gnome-session-=
2.22.0
+or newer installed. Note that this problem can not happen to gnome-base/=
gnome
+meta package users, as it will pull in the appropriate gnome-session pac=
kage
+again.
