https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=325851 Summary: gdm preferred session type warning message confusing Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 3 Platform: IA64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: erikj@sgi.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Third Party Developer/Partner This was observed in opensusse 10.3 beta3 _unofficial_ ia64 bits. Previously, I was using KDE with SLES10 as my desktop. My home directory is centrally served so it's the same home dir all along. When I logged in (via gdm), I got the following message: "Do you wish to make kde.desktop the default for future sessions? Your preferred session type GNOME is not installed on this computer" The problem I have with that error message is that if I click on "Just log in", my GNOME session starts up fine. Since it starts up fine, it seems to exist. There must be some sort of bug lurking here when looking at the previous session data. Before logging in with gdm, I had removed .gnome* .gconf* and such to hopefully get a "fresh" gnome environment without cruft from previous attempts. I don't know tons about GNOME or X11 so if there is a file I should pass along, let me know. PS: If I choose 'Session' on the bottom of GDM and choose GNOME, then it asks me if I want to make GNOME the default. That's cool but it's even stranger that I get the misleading error message above when I just try to log in.
