Actually the reason is simple, the chksession -F respect the
/etc/sysconfig/desktop entry so you may have to change it to whatever
you want in this file. Indeed it's not a solution.
Pixel/Flepied i remember you have requested such feature, but actually
is more consistent to drive everything via /etc/X11/wmsession.d/, so
what about in chksession to remove this :

Re: [Cooker] X problems (and some shell comments)
Submitted 21-Aug-00 by Guillaume Cottenceau: More probably, your prompt is eating the last line which as no trailing \n when you try to print out the script. You're correct. Forcing the echo of a newline afterward shows the correct script. But, I still end up with a grey mesh ahd X cursor with no wm or xterm when I type startx without having ~/.xinitrc. Further testing reveals that it is the "#!/bin/bash -login" in /etc/X11/Xsession that is causing the problem. Changing bash to sh seems to fix it. Ignoring this specific case of it possibly causing problems, I personally feel that most (all?) of the Mandrake supplied shell scripts that are sh/bash based should use sh. Certainly, there are a few things you cannot do when it is invoked as sh, but it is more portable. As a zsh user, I would also like to see zsh repackaged so the the executable in in /bin. Zsh provides an sh mode (if called as such), and having it in /bin could eliminate the need for me to have bash on this system. After all, I only have bash to satisfy the requirements of some Mandrake scripts and because it is the only full shell that provides sh without having /usr mounted. Else, upgrade to latest stuff, I did an install of cooker today, it works. Actually, I keep fairly current. And the new system *does* work 100% for runlevel 5. It's when you want to startx from runlevel 3 that it breaks. As an aside, I know that chksession is supposed to decide which wm is first by the number in front.
