RH9 flux problems
 
i compiled fluxbox and everything, but doesn't show up in the menu along with gnome, failsafe, and default. i added a file in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions called Fluxbox and it contains:

#!/bin/bash

exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession fluxbox

this is what tutorials instructed me to do. the menu when i start up still doesn't include fluxbox as an option. i am one confused newbie. thanks.

I'm not running RH (not sure if that makes a difference here), but I do use GDM to start my X sessions. I would suggest checking gdm.conf, which for me is in /etc/X11/gdm and make sure that SessionDir is pointing to /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions (where the fluxbox file should be). This may not be your only problem; however, since I'm pretty sure that the Session files for GDM need to reference the executable binaries and not where you've set it... My /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/fluxbox looks like:

xscreensaver -no-splash &
gkrellm2 &
/usr/bin/fluxbox

but all you should really need is:

/usr/bin/fluxbox


Good luck
