I no longer have the session type available in SUSE 9.0, KDE 3.2's Control Center, System Administrator, Login Manager and then I can't remember which tab it was under - Shutdown?, Users?, ?
I think it was under users, but you're right, it went away in kde 3.2 The idea is to set up a session management scheme that can be shared between all the different display managers If you look in /opt/kde3/share/apps/kde3/sessions you'll find all the session scripts that are currently available. The way it works now is that when kdm starts the greeter window, it runs through all the scripts in that dir (and any other dis configured as a session dir in kdmrc) and checks if the executable it references is valid (i.e. found in kdm's path, the path is also configurable in kdmrc). If it is, then it's presented as a choice in the greeter window. This is why kdm is slower than hardened molasses in 3.2. It seems to take an eternity to run through those session files.
