Thank you. Would you please itemize those locations? From what I have read, /usr/share/xsessions is more or less a default location. Thus far I know of the following: /etc/X11/sessions /etc/kde/kdm/sessions /usr/share/xsessions /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions /usr/share/config/kdm/sessions /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession /var/lib/menu-xdg/xsessions I am curious about other login managers, such as SLiM and LightDM. I am gathering information for bug report 1934. Darrell
