Adding xfce to Redhat login

[Amarpreet Rattan]

If you installed from rpms it should have happened magically.

Anyways, if you use gdm (that is, if you login manager is gdm.  It should
be if you are using a recent redhat and you haven't changed anything) you
have to add a file to /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions.  The following was
automatically created for me

#!/bin/sh
########################################################################
#
# XFce 4file for GDM.  Usually in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions.
#
# Add support for XIM; Modified by Babyfai Cheung.  2002/03/10
########################################################################
## Launch an XIM input server if needed

# This's for RedHat and Slackware
for i in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/* ; do
    if [ -x "$i" ]; then
        . "$i"
    fi
done

# This's for Mandrake
if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/XIM ]; then
   . /etc/X11/xinit/XIM
fi

exec /usr/bin/startxfce4

---------------------------------------------

you can edit this, of course.
