Description Shawn Smout 2004-06-02 14:54:41 UTC 
I cannot find any good, user-friendly way to change the system default session
for gdm login.  There ought to be an option for changing the default session in
gdmconfig, or perhaps from the session selector at the actual login screen.
Comment 1 Kjartan Maraas 2005-01-12 13:43:30 UTC 
If you choose a different session in the session selector you will be asked if
you want to keep this as the default or not when you log in. Isn't this good enough?
Comment 2 Brian Cameron 2005-04-13 17:25:03 UTC 
There is also the DefaultSession gdm.conf option for setting the default
session.  I notice that gdmsetup does not have an option for changing this
value, so I guess that's what this bug is about.

Changing to enhancement and changing title to make it more clear.
