New subject: [LAD] [OT] gdm setup in F10

 I had the same trouble recently trying to run
 fvwm with fedora 10.

 If you install windowmaker
 using a fedora package, a menu at the bottom
 of the gdm screen should appear. In this menu you
 should be able to choose window manager.

 (I saw the menu coincidentally after lots of
 frustration trying to edit .xsession etc.) 
 You mean at the bottom of the _screen_, not of
 the gdm window ? 
Yes, at the bottom of the screen. And furthermore,
the menu doesn't show up until _after_ you have written
your user-name in the gdm window. :-)

  If it was there it managed rather
...
  well to remain inconspicuous... I also wonder why
 my ~/.xsession was ignored.
 I just removed gdm and installed xdm. Doing this
 leaves you with audio devices owned by root/root
 but that's easily corrected in udev (where this
 should have been taken care of in the first place).

I think I'll switch to xdm too. I'm suspecting gdm
to start pulseaudio, set background color, gtk style,
and probably other things I most certainly don't want.
