I'd like to take a bunch of small window managers for a test drive. The text at http://docs.kde.org/en/3.3/kdebase/kdm/different-window-managers-with-kdm.html explains how to get the new manager to start (which was relatively obvious after inspection some of the configuration files anyway), but it doesn't explain how to add the new managers to the Session Type drop down. It refers to a [KDM] section in kdmrc, but although the file it there, the section is not. It also links to http://docs.kde.org/en/3.3/kdebase/kdm/KDM for further info on this configuration, but this is a dead link.
I know its possible, but I can't figure out how. Help? Anyone? Please?
To add items to the Session Type menu, you need to add 'desktop' files in the directory specified in the: "SessionsDirs=" parameter in your: "kdmrc" file.
On my system, this is: "$KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/sessions" but your system might be setup differently. There might already be a 'desktop' file for what you need. If so, it will be activated when it can find the executable specified in: "TryExec=".
