Posted: Fri May 13, 2005 4:48 pm Post subject: Making GDM Run .xsession (or Equivalent)? |
|
|
I've recently switched from Gnome to Openbox3, and am having problems with GDM (which I'd like to keep on using). The Openbox option in GDM just runs Openbox and nothing else, whereas I'd like other programs to be run at the same time. (I'm currently using XDM since that runs my ~/.xsession stuff fine.)
I've read around on the 'net, but I can't seem to find out what I need to do. Neither "Default" or "Custom" options will run my .xsession (nor do they seem to run .gnomerc or .Xclients, which are other files I've seen people suggest). They just dump me in twm.
Apparently GDM now uses /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop files instead, and I experimented with making openbox.desktop run my ~/.xsession without success.
Any ideas how I can solve this? I'm just after some way of making GDM execute a script I've written, preferably one specific to my user rather than available to everyone.
Thanks in advance,
Ian |

Try to edit /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default and see if its what you want. As far as i know, gdm looks for commands in this file, but i don't know when... (on gdm start or when the wm starts). i've never used gdm (xdm is far enough for my fluxbox so handle this tip with attention...
