apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected natty
** Description changed: Going through the docs, I assume that any .desktop file that is found inside /usr/share/xsessions will show up in the GDM login screen as a valid session. However, this is not the case. E.g., I have a stumpwm.desktop file with the following content: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=StumpWM Comment=This session logs you into StumpWM (a minimalistic window manager) Exec=/usr/local/bin/stumpwm TryExec=/usr/local/bin/stumpwm Icon= Type=Application X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gdm but I do not see an entry for it in the list of sessions. The same is true if I go to "System -> Administration -> Login Screen" - I don't see all sessions in the list for the default sessions. (I've also tried coping the gnome.desktop file and modify it, but still no luck). The desktop file has the correct file permissions (644) and is owned by root. - what's going on here? Do I need to tell GDM to go through this list - again? I've tried restarting GDM but no success. This is ubuntu 11.04 - btw. + what's going on here?
