[rhelv6-list] Proper way to add to RHEL6's GDM?

[vincent at cojot.name]

Hi Hugh,

Well then I wonder if I should file a bug against that GDM since I already 
had something similar on my test RHEL6.1 system:

[root at rh6x64 xsessions]# pwd
/usr/share/xsessions

[root at rh6x64 xsessions]# cat OpenWindows.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Exec=/usr/openwin/bin/openwin
TryExec=/usr/openwin/bin/openwin
Name=OpenWindows
Comment=The OpenWindows Desktop

But anyway I didn't see any place in the GDM greeter where to pick a 
different session that the default..
