Hello,
I know that this works...
< if [ -x /usr/bin/x-session-manager ]; then
< REALSTARTUP=x-session-manager
< elif [ -x /usr/bin/x-window-manager ]; then

...and that /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50xfree86-common_determine-startup is
a conffile but nevertheless I think it could be nice to have an even
simpler solution for this commonly requested feature[1]; something
like prefer-x-windowmanager in /etc/X11/Xsession.options would be
nice.
BTW, what I am really missing is a possibility to set environment
variables as user (e.g. locales) for all Xsessions. ~/.xsession does
not do the trick, as it is (of course) ignored if I don't choose the
"default" session in $displaymanager that supports choosing the
windowmanager at the login screen.

[1] But I really do not know if the user's who don't want to edit a
simple shell script would find this feature.
