x-session-manager alternative
Branden has agreed to update /etc/X11/Xsession to try to exec
x-session-manager before x-window-manager. What this means is
that you should install gnome-session and startkde as an
alternative for x-session-manager. This means that a user who has
installed GNOME or KDE and doesn't have ~/.xsession will get what
they expect when they type startx.
xsm will not be installed as an alternative, since doing so would
cause unexpected behavior for people relying on x-window-manager
being started for them. Presumably, anyone ancient enough to want
xsm knows how to run it :).
