Those are all the scripts GDM uses for sessions. Have a look at the "Gnome" one. It's overly verbose, true, however, it's an example of what you can do. If you, for example, wanted to create a KDE script, you'd create a new file called "KDE", then open it with your absolute favourite text editor (such as sed and command line pipes), and type in: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/startkde ...then save the file and chmod a+x it. GDM should notice that the new script is there upon a good restart, and it'll proudly let you choose it. (By the way, haven't you all noticed that GDM was very distribution oriented? Discuss.) >Also, doesn't GNOME have a web browser? I really like Konqueror on KDE >and was hoping GNOME has something that was integrated like it is for >KDE.

It is, hands down, the best browser available for anything. However, it's not ported to Gnome2 yet because Mozilla itself hasn't been ported to GTK2 (damn commies!).
