How to add Fluxbox to GDM?


Dropline Gnome 2.6
Slackware 9.1-current
2.6.5 Kernel

Before upgrade to Dropline ( was using 2.4 Gnome and GDM to login ), I had FluxBox as a choice for session type. As well I had it set as my default type and it worked just fine.

After the upgrade of Dropline 2.6, FluxBox is not there and using the default session type brings me to Twrm (SP? ).

I have searched here and at the dropline forums and have found very little information on how to add FluxBox.

Thanks

THANKS

I searched for fluxbox and found the desktop file and copied it over to /etc/dm and it worked like a charm.

Dropline gnome is slick but I just love the speed of fluxbox.....
