I had to go read <code>/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession</code> and see what it was doing. It's testing -x for <code>~/.xsession</code>, which is what I was missing. So</p> <ol><li> Make a `~/.xsession` and `chmod u+x` it.</li> <li>When you start GDM, select "Custom Session".</li> </ol> <p>Then it will work. This is necessary because openbox doesn't provide any kind of startup feature. (PS I'm trying openbox now. Screenshots coming soon.)</p>
