I put the single line "xterm" in my .xsession file. Then, if I choose the xterm (or xfce) session in kdm, I still get the same results, a blank screen that eventually returns to the login page.
I can login/logout fine in a virtual console. Also, If I am logged into a virtual console, I can login and out on the graphical console fine. This is my .xsession-errors file: /nix/store/c9y4apb5shpj75zpwmbmm5vshwszpwqh-xrdb-1.1.0/bin/xrdb: colon missing on line 1, ignoring line /nix/store/c9y4apb5shpj75zpwmbmm5vshwszpwqh-xrdb-1.1.0/bin/xrdb: colon missing on line 4, ignoring line /nix/store/c9y4apb5shpj75zpwmbmm5vshwszpwqh-xrdb-1.1.0/bin/xrdb: colon missing on line 6, ignoring line /nix/store/c9y4apb5shpj75zpwmbmm5vshwszpwqh-xrdb-1.1.0/bin/xrdb: colon missing on line 10, ignoring line /nix/store/c9y4apb5shpj75zpwmbmm5vshwszpwqh-xrdb-1.1.0/bin/xrdb: colon missing on line 29, ignoring line /nix/store/c9y4apb5shpj75zpwmbmm5vshwszpwqh-xrdb-1.1.0/bin/xrdb: colon missing on line 32, ignoring line /nix/store/rqfg4w9xq2hj3d86wmcpjg6nc4y5jx29-xsession: Window manager 'xfce' not found. xrdb: colon missing on line 8, ignoring line xrdb: colon missing on line 11, ignoring line xrdb: colon missing on line 13, ignoring line xrdb: colon missing on line 17, ignoring line xrdb: colon missing on line 36, ignoring line xrdb: colon missing on line 39, ignoring line Sometimes, the highlighted part also says "Window manager 'xterm' not found.
