I have Mandrake 8.2 running as well. I dug into the scripts and figured out how they worked together. The attached tarball includes two files, you can just drop into the file-system as is. It should then give you a session from either gdm or kdm. It even works with my gdm2. :-) I still have the problem my last session isn't remembered correctly, but that doesn't seem to be caused by the files in the tarball. I hope this works for you as well! -A.
