Broadcast:
If you're having problems with the new GDM losing your Session files its because they have a new format.
Go to the folder /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions and create a new .desktop file for the session you want, The files you need to edit may also be at /usr/share/xsessions/ depending on the gdm version you are using. I'll use KDE for mine:
| File: kde-3.2.2.desktop |
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=KDE Comment=KDE 3.2.2 Exec=startkde Icon= Type=Application |
Change that accordingly for each session you'd like. Then when you have it all setup make sure you chmod it to be 755. (rwxr-xr-x)
Enjoy!
