The selected SessionType would still have to be passed as an argument to, ehm, something else. Whatever it is, the fact that my kdmrc doesn't contain those lines makes it feel even weirder to me. I guess I'll just get rid of the display managers alltogether and get myself going with startx again. :-( > >May I call it utter chaos, or is it really, once more, just me? > > Seems chaotic to me.
