Tricky question about XFce on MDK 9.1

[Mark Welker]

Hi,

This is how I did it with Slackware 9.0

As su. I made the file /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Xfce4
This is what I put in it.

#!/bin/bash -login

/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession xfce4

Then I did chmod +x /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Xfce4

Next I edited /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
I added this.

xfce4)
        exec startxfce4
        ;;

It works for me on Slack 9.0
Maybe it will help you with Mandrake? I don't know.
