Different sessions for different users


hi all,

i am using GDM as the display manager. Is there a way that i can set different sessions/window mgrs for different users, without the need to explicitly selecting it while logging in?

You can set individual sessions in each user's .xinitrc file.

Check each user's file and see if there is anything along the lines of

Code:
#exec gnome-session
#exec startkde
#exec xfce4-session
or similar. Just uncomment (or add) the session you want for that user. Just be sure that only one session is uncommented.
