From https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=667408 :

There is an inconsistency between the use of DEFAULT_WM in gdm / lxdm and in /etc/xinit.d/xdm / /etc/profile.d/profile.sh, the former expects it to be the basename of the session file whereas the latter use it to set the WINDOWMANAGER environment variable which later used by the xsession scripts and expected to be an executable. Vincent has proposed three solutions: a) remove the gdm patch, and live with the fact that gnome will be the default b) standardize the meaning of DEFAULT_WM c) work around this by making sure that the name of the desktop file and the name of the executable are the same In order to implement option b by consistently using the session file name we'd need to set WINDOWMANAGER in /etc/xinit.d/xdm and /etc/profile.d/profile.sh by parsing the xsession file (which is easy since it is just a .desktop file) and edit the yast installer control file to use lxde/kde4/xfce instead of startlxde/startkde/startxfce. Are there any other uses of DEFAULT_WM I'm not aware of? Any objections to implementing option b as outlined above? -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
