mmm, here you are talking the graphical login prompt (don't know it's propper name) who ask for what kind of session you are wanting. As an example, gdm currently proposes to launch gnome-session, whatever is in Xsession or xsm. Note that these are no window managers? For the gnome session, you can then choose the window-manager in the control center. Is it this you are speaking about ? Friendly, sven Luther
