I use Slackware. To add a new Session under GDM I add a new file under /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions, right? Wrong... it simply DON'T work. Some idea?

The session file need to be executable...

i know it goes like this kinda
" !#/bin/bash
exec /root/gnome-session"
or something like that

I don't believe you need /root before gnome-session so just
#!/bin/bash
exec gnome-session than chmod +x to make it executable
