Hey everyone,
I just finished emerging xfce4 and I was wondering how I get it to show up in the options in the KDM login manager?
Any advice ?
Thanks,

| If your runing kde now you go to there configuration page there and in it login manager page and it has a section about sessions that you want to have the option of booting into. |

hmmm... I just looked in there and didn't see anything about sessions. I found a Session manager as well, but that also didn't have what I needed.
Any other ways? is there a text file somewhere that I can edit?
Thanks,

I use XFce 4 w/ GDM. Works like a charm. Just select it instead of the default, login, and when you log out, from then on it will use that.

| Create a startxfce file under /etc/X11/Sessions/. The file must be a bash script which will start the window manager. |

/etc/X11/Sessions/XFce4 :
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
########################################################################
#
# XFce 4file for GDM. Usually in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions.
#
# Add support for XIM; Modified by Babyfai Cheung. 2002/03/10
########################################################################
## Launch an XIM input server if needed
# This's for RedHat and Slackware
for i in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/* ; do
if [ -x "$i" ]; then
. "$i"
fi
done
# This's for Mandrake
if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/XIM ]; then
. /etc/X11/xinit/XIM

exec /usr/bin/startxfce4
