Try locating where the desktop files are :-
locate gnome.desktop
Fedora core 6 is :-
/usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop is the list of numbered desktops
To add a new one e.g.
cp /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/xfce42.desktop
Edit xfce.desktop and update as
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Exec=/usr/local/bin/startxfce4
TryExec=/usr/local/bin/startxfce4
Name=Xfce 4.2
Comment=The Xfce 4.2 Desktop Environment
Logout to see new menu in "Sessions"
To remove a desktop, just remove the
/usr/share/xsessions/<CORRECT-ONE>.desktop.
To remove the desktop completely e.g. Gnome desktop manager
rpm -e gdm
/etc/gdm/Xsession has the list of options, but not sure whether this is
only for when .xsessions doesn't
exist in the home directory.
