Bug#293645: kdmrc should contain /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/ for SessionsDirs

[Sebastian Bremicker <sebrem@nef.wh.uni-dortmund.de>]

Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.3.2-1
Severity: wishlist


Hi!

I just noticed, that by default in kdmrc the section [X-*-Core] contains
the parameter

SessionsDirs=/etc/X11/sessions,/usr/share/xsessions

which appears not to be sufficient to find all window managers available on
my system, while adding the directory containing dozens of .desktop files,

SessionsDirs=/etc/X11/sessions,/usr/share/xsessions,/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions

(as the .desktop files are even provided with this kdm package), makes
them available to kdm. Maybe you should consider the change above or put
the .desktop files from package kdm in one of the directories specified
in the default kdmrc.

Thank you for Reading
