Hi All,
I just set up a computer with Scientific Linux 6.1, using
the default "Workstation". Then I installed Xfce.
Question, how do I change my gdm default from gnome to
Xfce?
/etc/gdm/custom.conf
[daemon]
DefaultSession=xfce.desktop
Does not work. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks,

To set it at the system level you will need to use
gconftool-2 on SL6.x.
The exact arguments elude me right now. For just your
user, gdm should
be setting a .dmrc in your home area with a set of stanzas
to allow the
system to remember your preference.

Hi Pat,
I am drawing a blank on Google. Do you have any idea what
that .dmrc stanza is?

This should point you in the right direction for .dmrc
http://projects.gnome.org/gdm/docs/2.24/configuration.html#userconfig
Its a bit old but should get the job done.
Pat
Hi Pat,
As far as I can tell, my .dmrc is being completely ignored

That's a bit odd.....

Hi Pat and Everyone,
Hi All,
I came up with a "work around". It is a bit "cheezy",
so you may want to hold your nose before reading further.
Thank you all for your help and tips!

My Work Around:
$su
# cd /usr/share/xsessions
# mv gnome.desktop gnome.desktop.orig
# ln -s /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop
# ls -al
