> How do I make XFce the default in run level 5?
For the record, I am using CentOS 4.4, which is the
same as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.4 (only cheaper)
and is loosely based on Fedora Core 3.
Figured this out. Never did find a gui utility to do
it with. Found it with
find /etc/X11 -exec grep -l -i default {} \;
To set XFce as the dafault session, I made the following
changes to "/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf":
#DefaultSession=default.desktop
DefaultSession=xfce.desktop
Developers: please consider:
1) adding this to the "things to do after installing
XFce" in your FAQ
2) creating a simple utility to do this and placing it
in your "settings" dialog, along with desktop, screensaver,
mouse, etc.. Suggested name: "gdm session config"
Hope this helps someone else.
