just to understand you right: you want to create a custom session based on gnome-session-fallback? The required components for gnome-session-fallback are defined in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-fallback.session I'd probably do the following: - cp /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-fallback.session /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-awesome.session (edit gnome-awesome.session to your liking) - create a file /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-awesome.desktop (for gdm3) containing something like [Desktop Entry] Name=GNOME awesom Session Exec=gnome-session-awesome TryExec=gnome-session-awesome Icon= - create a shell script /usr/bin/gnome-session-awesome containing #! /bin/sh exec gnome-session --session gnome-awesome "$@" hth, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
