I have :-

richard@debian:~$ ls -l /usr/share/xsessions
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6702 Oct 14 11:44 gnome.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6987 Oct 14 11:44 gnome-fallback.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5808 Oct 24 21:50 xfce.desktop
But no pulldown on the login menu, any ideas how to get this added
