Description Olaf Hering 2005-08-17 16:23:19 UTC 
sles9 seems to put 'fvwm2' into ~/.wmrc

but a full installation (including) fvwm2 says, when selecting user 'olh' in kdm:

Your saved session type 'fvwm' is not valid any more.
Please select a new one, otherwise 'default' will be used.

Where does 'fvwm' come from?

its mac.suse.de.
/usr/X11R6/bin/wmlist 
kde gnome windowmaker blackbox openbox fvwm2 icewm mwm twm
Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2005-08-17 21:20:52 UTC 
forget about wmlist - it's (C) 2001  
  
You're mixing fvwm and fvwm2 a bit here. Let's assume you mean fvwm2 here 
Do you have a /usr/share/xsessions/fvwm2.desktop? 
Is /usr/share/xsessions listed in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc?
Comment 2 Olaf Hering 2005-08-17 21:23:59 UTC 
its a fresh install, all selections installed. its all there.
Comment 3 Dirk Mueller 2005-09-14 08:00:29 UTC 
so you have fvwm and fvwm2 ?   
   
Is /usr/share/xsessions listed in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc?  
  
Do you have a /usr/share/xsessions/fvwm2.desktop?
Comment 4 Olaf Hering 2005-09-15 15:20:07 UTC 
I'm sure there is everything. Will test next week.
Comment 5 Olaf Hering 2005-09-22 12:37:15 UTC 
this happens already when upgrading a 9.2 to 9.3

feel free to poke around on smirnow.suse.de
Comment 6 Olaf Hering 2005-09-22 12:39:46 UTC 
vncviewer smirnow:1  will serve as example.
Comment 7 Olaf Hering 2005-09-22 20:12:17 UTC 
something writes fvwm2 into that file, and that something has to deal with
'fvwm' as well, and leave it as is.
