adding fluxbox to gdm mandrake 10


Hello all again

Fuxbox 0.9.9 was one of the first packages installed on my system when i upgraded to mdk 10.
Sadly, i can't find how to add it to the dropdown list in gdm or kdm. I've realised that since kde 3.2 there are not config scripts as before? Also there's no kdm 'add session' option anymore. All i can find to point me to configure new wms are those .desktop files (01KDE.desktop and so on...)

The question is: NOW how can i add fluxbox to the wm's list?

Nevermind, It's done, i did the obvious: added another .desktop file in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions called 05Fluxbox and pointing to both 'startfluxbox' and 'fluxbox' binaries. Is working fine now.

Regards
