Sorry ... missed this earlier. If I understand correctly, this patch was written for Slackware? If so I can't take it...what we would want is a script that at least covers most of the major distros (Debian, Mandriva, Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Slackware) and understands how each of them stores X sessions. For example, Mandriva does not use .desktop files to store sessions - it keeps entries under /etc/X11/wmsession.d/. This is probably much better done as a script that determines the system's linux distribution, obtains the X sessions accordingly, and outputs a session list that can then be compiled into the configuration at build time. -- Ibukun Olumuyiwa http://xcomputerman.com "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved." ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
