I use $USER independant /etc/X11/xsession.d/ which works fine for "xdm" and "wdm" but is there something similar for "kdm" and "gdm" ? The Enterprise for which I develop the Tools are using wdm + fvwm and there is no problem at all. But I am dubious if they use KDE or GNOME it may not more work. Maybe I shoult avoid the use of gdm/kdm (if possibel, because I do not use and know it). > Reading the w or who output is pretty simple and most people will be > moving up to sarge soon, I do not know too many people really using > Woody any more. Not privatly but in enterprises... I run some Backports and it works fine. With SARGE we had problems to install it in a minimum.
