I've done this on a F10 system. The .dmrc files does not exist for root
even
I chose the session at the login window. So I created /root/.dmrc. I log
out
and back in and my root session is saved.
The syntax of the .dmrc doesn't use PREFERRED in it. That's for the
prefdm file, which you can modify if you like.
I'm not using prefdm or at all. I'm not changing any other files except
.dmrc.

thats what I mean for one of my last posts. I checked for the .dmrc file
and it still doesnt do it. Are you sure it works, because root isnt even in
the drop down user list from GDM, thats what seems to be the problem. I
have to click "other" so no session info is saved.
