Graphical Boot Sessions

[Kaustubh Ghosh]

Thanks  very much for your help.
My windows Maker is running!I did as you said.
But I still cannot change to GNOME from outside.If I choose it I just log on 
to KDE,my default desktop.My gnome.desktop file has 'Exec=gnome-session'
Is it correct?I tried to change it to nautilus,with no effect.Can you help me 
on this.
