This entry seems to be used when you run startx from the console, |
| 12 |
that's why you can launch fluxbox when you run startx. Of course the |
| 13 |
question is what did you emerge recently and which configuration files |
| 14 |
did that change. If you use genlop to check your emerge history (or |
| 15 |
look in /var/log/emerge.log) that may give some pointers. |

None of the above are 'wrong' as such. They are sourced by startx. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The question then is what is gdm parsing to find which sessions to |
| 28 |
launch. Display Managers usually check what you have in: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
/etc/X11/Sessions/ |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
and offer these as a session option to login. I think that gdm is |
| 33 |
probably looking in /usr/share/xsessions/* where it expects to find |
| 34 |
fluxbox.desktop and will offer this as a login session option (not |
| 35 |
sure because I do not have gdm to check). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Display Manager may also look to see if the environment variable |
| 38 |
XSESSION is set. Therefore you can try setting this in |
| 39 |
/etc/env.d/90xsession like this, just in case it is sourced: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
XSESSION="fluxbox" |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
PS. You may need to reboot for good measure. |
