John -
Double check that you've setup and installed everything more or less
stock, as described in the docs referenced thus far - one process that
I've added, personally, to my local build, is a shell script:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
export TREE_BASE=/root/CDE/cdesktopenv-code/cde
export ADMIN="admin/IntegTools"
/usr/sbin/locale-gen
cd ${TREE_BASE}/${ADMIN}/dbTools
./installCDE -s ${TREE_BASE}
cd ${TREE_BASE}/${ADMIN}/post_install/linux
./configRun -e
Obviously, salt to taste, and yeah, it does a lot of (usually) un-needed
stuff, but it results in he Xsession script running properly from
lightdm.
I'm paranoid, so I usually do: (git pull && make Clean && make World &&
cdefin) where "cdefin" is the above script...all as root. That way you
don't have to worry about going back and cleaning up permissions.
Good luck,
rmd
