I am guessing I missed an XFCE4 package from EPEL? pj What appears in that list is controlled by .desktop files dropped into /usr/share/xsessions. For XFCE this is: /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop provided by xfce4-session - which you have. So, I'm not sure what is up. Perhaps need a reboot? I presume this is with gdm? -- Orion Poplawski Manager of NWRA Technical Systems 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
