Re: [gdm-list] Remove something out of GDM-Sessions-List

[Maximilian Sommer <max wh2 tu-dresden de>]

Hi Brian, hi alls,

thanks for the help.

But Iam not shure if you unterstood:

I do not want to get "Gnome" in my sessions-list, i want to get "Gnome 
(safe mode)" OUT too, because i uninstalled Gnome and so it does not 
work and I do not need it.

I use GDM as Display-Manager and Fluxbox as Windows-Manager.

Or is it not possible to get "Gnome (safe mode)" out of the sessions 
list of GDM?

Yours,
Max.

P.S.: Please answer me too, not only the list - Iam not on it ;-)
