must be -- I just tried doing it, and no change. While I was at it
though, I went ahead and chmod a+x'd the gdm entry, so I'm in 4 now.
Weird, weird experience, I'm realizing how much I've gotten used to 3
:-)
I have a bad feeling this is a FAQ, but is there an equivalent to
launching things from ~/.xfce/xfwmrc? I suppose I should just clean up
my act and start using ~/Desktop/Autostart again instead.
