It seems that the Exec option requires a script w/o a parameter. Here's what I did with my setup (I used e-kde but should work with e-gnome as well). Note that you must be root to do this:
Create a script /usr/bin/startekde with the following two lines: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/starte16 KDE Save then chmod a+x /usr/bin/startekde Then edit /usr/share/xsessions/-e-kde.desktop and change the Exec= option to: Exec=/usr/bin/startekde Logout from your GUI then hti Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart login manager. -- Error while starting E-Gnome https://launchpad.net/bugs/83380 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
