I thought I'd try GDM, But I hate sawfish. I tried making a new session the way you outline. It doesn't work. I'm running Gnome 2.4 on FreeBSD 4.9. This is a fresh install with a cvsup done yesterday - before I built everything. I also tried the old way, putting the exec one liner in the other place. I've pretty much given up. It shouldn't take hours to change the default window manager. I wouldn't mind using gnome if it weren't so painful. It's beginning to rival windows. Any clues you have might get me to appreciate it more. I'm back to using my xinitrc, It's not as pretty but it's simple and it works. I can't run a gnome session because it stomps on my window manager. .gnome/default.wm used to work for this. but apparently not anymore. Gnome used to be friendly with other window managers. I wish that were still the case. If you can provide any help I would be appreciative. Thanks, Eric
