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

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Maximilian:

Look in your /usr/share/xsessions directory.  There should be a 
gnome.desktop file there with an Exec/TryExec line to run the
gnome-session program.  If you are missing this file, this would
explain why GNOME is not in your menus.  You should add back the
file and it should work.  If you rebuild the latest version of
GDM, it should install the file for you.

Note you might need to change the Exec/TryExec line to
"dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session" for it to
properly start GNOME, depending on what version of GNOME
you are using.
