I've installed SL6.1 "Minimal Desktop" in order to use IceWM on an IONITX motherboard (Intel Atom + Nvidia ION). When I try to login via GDM, GDM insists on starting gnome-session even though GNOME is not fully installed. I'm trying to determine the best method to have GDM use IceWM by default.
Have you installed xorg-x11-xinit-session ? I needed that to use twm.
I believe I need to modify /etc/gdm/custom.conf and specify a few parameters to force GDM to use icewm-session instead of gnome-session. I've already tried adding "PREFERRED=icewm-session" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop to no avail. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.
