Hi Christopher,

I fail to see what is the wrong location in your opinion. Do you think that
a window manager should install its desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions or
in /usr/share/applications?

Hi,

 From the GNOME sysadmin guide I found that window managers desktop
file should be handled underneath /usr/share/xsessions, but the state
now is that there are some packages install that file to
/usr/share/applications, so I'm puzzled now.

Thanks.

I maintain two window managers, pekwm and jwm, and both packages install desktop files in /usr/share/xsessions, which seems the right place to me, because they will appear as options in the login screen.

All the best,
