I'm wondering if this is a widely experienced problem. I've found one report about it in the Fedora bugzilla. I've noticed that the customized gdm PreSession/Default and PostSession/Default scripts that I've been using for years in Fedora 1-8 no longer run on a system that recently upgraded to Fedora 9. There have been many changes in Fedora's gdm this time, no more gdmsetup program and such, but as far as I can see in the documentation, the scripts are supposed to run still, but they don't. This bug report says that the /etc/gdm/PostSession default is not executed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449675 THat's probably same as this one; https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453483 It appears to me that neither PreSession nor PostSession is executed. You can see for yourself if you put something simple in PreSession/Default like echo "whatever" >> /tmp/checkingOnGDM It simply appears as if GDM is by passing the scripts altogether. It is important to me to know if we are just a few isolated people for whom this does not work. I mean, does it work for nobody, but most people don't try? Or does it work for some people? There are so many changes in the gdm used in F9 and the documentation has not caught up with it, I think. Assuming gdm is broken, can you suggest an alternative way to run a script every time users log in and log out? -- Paul E.
