Hi!
I've just installed XFce4 through rpms (from
xfce.org) and have the same
problem.
I found a way to make it work but it's no solution. During login, choose
Failsafe Terminal from session menu. This will log you in only with a
xterm window. In xterm execute: /usr/bin/startxfce4.
This will start XFCE, but you can never close the first xterm because it
will log you out.
Hoping to get a xfce freshrpm soon.
Thank you. I have already tried this; what im wondering is where is the
information that gdm needs to be able to manage other sessions than
gnome, kde or failsafe.
I dont know the reason of this change of behavior, but im not sure it
benefits so much this distro...
