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

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Maximilian:

Note the following information from the GDM configuration file.  You
can turn on and off the GNOME/xterm failsafe sessions by changing
these configuration values.  I hope this helps you.

# Show the Failsafe sessions.  These are much MUCH nicer (focus for
# xterm for
# example) and more failsafe then those supplied by scripts so distros
# should use this rather then just running an xterm from a script.
#ShowGnomeFailsafeSession=true
#ShowXtermFailsafeSession=true
