Hello, I would want to have a choice at login time between xfce (my default desktop wm) and fluxbox. I have followed the steps from this document : http://geek00l.blogspot.com/2006/06/freebsd-fluxbox-gdm.html but i did not have the xsessions directory under /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/. so i created one and created another file called Fluxbox.desktop inside it. Then followed the rest of the document as is. Additionally I copied the startfluxbox binary to the ~/.Xclients file under the binary for xfce. What has happened now is that I still dont see no choice under the sessions menu in gdm morever i get logged on to xfce first. Now when I log on from xfce I get logged on to fluxbox meaning the fluxbox desktop may be waiting for the x-resources like the screen, mouse etc to become available and then when it does become available it starts to run. Im rather confused. Please help me with this and perhaps give me some insight as to why it is the wa it is if you can Hope to hear from you fellas -- Best Regards, Aijaz
