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

yum install switchdesktop
then run it in a terminal as<user>
there is also a GUI yum install switchdesktop-gui
again run it as<user>
According to pbone.net there is only a switchdesk available
for FC15. YUM says nothing is available either (switchdesk,
switchdesktop, or switchdesktop-gui).
I doubt it either as I believe it would give the same
result as this FC14 bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658247
Thank you for the help,
What release of Fedora is Scientific Linux 6.1 based on?
I can suggest to look at /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients, but I am not sure that
gdm reads this file.
I use FXCE since 4.4.3, but never with gdm.
Thank you!
Now this piece of code look interesting (Xclients). For starters,
it explains what the "PREFERRED" variable in /etc/sysconfig/desktop
is doing.
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients:
GSESSION="$(which gnome-session 2>/dev/null)"
STARTKDE="$(which startkde 2>/dev/null)"
# check to see if the user has a preferred desktop
PREFERRED=
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/desktop
if [ "$DESKTOP" = "GNOME" ]; then
PREFERRED="$GSESSION"
elif [ "$DESKTOP" = "KDE" ]; then
PREFERRED="$STARTKDE"
fi
fi
if [ -n "$PREFERRED" ]; then
exec "$PREFERRED"
fi
When I next get to the server with this issue, I will
change PREFERRED to "/usr/bin/startxfce4" and see what
happens. I will get back.

Nope. Still did not work. I had to go back to my cheezy
work around. :'(

Why you can't just install lxdm. It is good enough. Anyway you do not use GDM.
And also I don't understand why lightdm is not in Fedora repository. OpenSuse for instance, uses it
already.
