I've just installed OpenSolaris x86-64 build 76 on my PC and have built 
fvwm2 from source and I can run this successfully from a Gnome desktop 
with the -replace option. But I would like to add fvwm2 to the main 
X-login screen as an option along with the existing CDE and Gnome desktop 
environments so that it appears in the 'Session' options list. But I can't 
see how or where these options are configured - several people in this 
list have said that OpenSolaris uses the gdm X display manager but this 
doesn't seem to be running on my installation - running 
/usr/sbin/gdmsetup results in an error message saying gdm is not 
running and that I might be using KDE (kdm) or CDE's display manager 
(dtlogin) instead. Is this correct?

Also, in a message on this topic last year (see 
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/desktop-discuss/2007-April/009705.html), 
it was suggested that creating a fvwm2.desktop file in 
/usr/share/xsessions was all that was required but this doesn't put the 
fvwm2 option into the login session options list.

Any help would be appreciated.

Andy
