On a related note: I've been having troubles editing gdm sessions on my mandrake 8.0 box. for some reason, even if i add a new entry to /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions, it gets overriden by mandrake at restart ... and my .xsession and .xinitrc files in my ~/ directory are being ignored when i log into my computer. i ended up writing a script that i have to call using "source ..." after each login, but this is a pain and should not happen ... any help?
