What is being chosen there, is actually a profile for the graphical environment. So, neither "window manager" nor "desktop environment" really fit. You could say "profile", but "session" seems to be the (de-facto) standard term. Also, it makes some sense if you think about what session management is. msi _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
