Here's the situation: I am running Mandrake 8.1, mostly kept up to date through the MandrakeUpdate program. I was using kdm for my login manager, but Gnome for my desktop. The default was KDE, but I always let it use my "last" session, which was Gnome every time. I recently installed Ximian desktop, and replaced kdm with gdm for my login manager. I have two problems with gdm: 1. It refuses to remember my last session after rebooting (this is a laptop, so I reboot at least twice a day, when travelling from home to the office and back). Therefore if I forget to select Gnome the first time I login, I end up in KDE and must logout and then login again, selecting Gnome in the process. 2. It will not remember the default desktop if I change it to Gnome. After a reboot, it is always reset to default to KDE, which leaves me back at problem #1.
Is this a known issue? I have run gdmconf a number of times, and it seems to accept my change to default the desktop to Gnome, but after rebooting it is always back to KDE again. -- Dave Sherman Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, MCSE, MCSA, CCNA for you are crunchy, and good with ketchup.
