A few things: (1) I think the line in question here is the "Exec" line. Try changing it to match the "TryExec" line.
i.e. Exec=/usr/bin/starte17 You are referencing XDM in that configuration file, but you mentioned getting it to work with GDM. I will assume that you are really trying to get this working with GDM. I would also double check that you are creating the desktop file in the right location. It's normally under gdm/sessions - the first part of the path may vary. Here's what I had to do for GDM on Ubuntu: I created /usr/share/xsession/e17.desktop The file contains: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=E17 Comment=Enlightenment 0.17 Type=XSession Exec=/usr/local/bin/enlightenment_start TryExec=/usr/local/bin/enlightenment_start After creating that file, restart GDM and you should have the entry listed as a session. What I've listed is specific to Ubuntu - your distro my handle this differently (i.e. file locations). Since your question is more specific to GDM than E, I would suggest taking a look at the documentation for GDM at: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/docs.html Specifically, the configuration section should give you all the information you need to set this up. I hope that helps. > How can i add E17 to GDM? > > i create a desktop file in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/ with: > > [Desktop Entry] > Encoding=UTF-8 > Name=E17 > Comment=E17 > TryExec=/usr/bin/starte17 > Exec=/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession E17 > Icon= > Type=Application > > but doesnt work :-/ also i create the script starte17 in /usr/bin with: > > exec /usr/bin/enlightenment_start > > -- > http://usuarios.lycos.es/dalfa > http://drakedalfa.blogspot.com > > Si nos tomamos el tiempo de leer largas man-pages y detallados howtos, > ¿porque no tomarnos el tiempo de leer la Biblia y ser verdaderamente > libres? no solo en nuestra pcs sino también de toda condenación. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
