[gentoo-dev] kdm and .xsession ?

[Ulf Großekathöfer]

Hi,

I want to use kdm and pwm and it works fine; the only problem is that 
kdm dosn't read my $HOME/.xsession. I'm not sure whether this is a bug
or a feature but if I use xdm everything works well.

Apart from that gentoo linux is really a great ditribution, I like it
very much.

Thanks and greetings
Ulf.

I'm not into kdm, could you fix this Danamark? In gdm there are
different sessions. I have GNOME and Xsession where the XSession uses
the .xsession file.

Good to hear!

I'll try and look into it later.

I'm sorry, I can't look into it right now. I'm busy at least until tomorrow. 
Anyone else?

I'll put it in the wiki so that it doesn't get forgotten.

Re: [gentoo-dev] kdm and .xsession ? - solved

Hello,

The new kdebase-2.2 ebuild creates a special session "xsession", login into 
that via kdm and you'll get your .xsession executed.

If you really wan't me to put this into kde-2.1 too for some reason, say so.

BTW, kde-2.2 is still masked and in testing, but it's quite stable actually, 
so either wait a few days or unmask it manually.
