<p><b>How do I add new GDM sessions?</b></p>
<!-- A16 -->
<p>Adding new GDM sessions has changed substantially between GNOME
2.2 and &gnomever;. In order to add new sessions now, you
must create a <tt>.desktop</tt> file containing the session
configuration information. Session files live in
<tt>/usr/X11R6/etc/dm/Sessions</tt>. For example, to add
a KDE session, create a file in <tt>/usr/X11R6/etc/dm/Sessions</tt>
called <tt>kde.desktop</tt>. That file should contain the
following:</p>
<pre>
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=KDE
Comment=This session logs you into KDE
Exec=/usr/local/bin/startkde
TryExec=/usr/local/bin/startkde
Icon=
Type=Application
</pre>
<p>After creating this file, restart GDM, and there will be a
<b>KDE</b> link under the <em>Sessions</em> menu.</p>
</li>
</ol>
