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,
-T

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
total 32
drwxr-xr-x.   2 root root  4096 Dec 15 19:04 .
drwxr-xr-x. 249 root root 12288 Dec 13 18:25 ..
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 33 Dec 15 19:04 gnome.desktop -> /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop
-rw-r--r--.   1 root root  6041 Nov 24  2010 gnome.desktop.orig
-rw-r--r--.   1 root root  5808 Sep 23 09:34 xfce.desktop
