--- Comment #12 from Bjørn Lie
Bjoern's patch ignores the xsession.desktop file if it is the only 'other' desktop file installed - in which case there should be no selection icon at all since having a selection with only one item to select from looks a bit stupid to me. As soon as more desktop options are offered, a 'default' choice makes sense.
If someone could point me in the direction to take to make a "default GNOME install via net/dvd installer" - only offer GNOME as login I'll be a happy camper. This has to be "viable" in the sense that I should not conflict on things, so users wanting to install extra sessions, be it plasma, i3, xfce or whatever in plus, will not have yast/zypper/rpm enter complaintmode. In other words, start out with as little as possible, but allow for easy "expansion of alternatives" As is, even getting rid of icevm is a major hurdle, since that will nuke libXvnc1 xdg-menu xorg-x11-Xvnc desktop-data-openSUSE Currently a user who selects GNOME in the installer gets icevm and now soon the "default" option in plus to the GNOME install they wanted (Not to mention the "hidden xdm). Not because I as a GNOME maintainer want them to have all the "extras", but since the way the rest of the distro is set up forces me to include all those. And hence there are options of what session to choose. Don't get me wrong, having a multitude of options is nice, but the options should not be there from the "clean" install. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
