I just upgraded Windowmaker from .65 to .80. I use gdm for a login manager and I had entries on it for Gnome, E, and Windowmaker, all of which worked.

Now, when I try to start Windowmaker through gdm, It just takes me directly to Gnome.

Looking at the gdm configuration, I saw that this was the startup script for E:#!/bin/sh
exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession enlightenment. So... being the resourceful person I am, I had set up the Windowmaker the same way, replacing 'enlightenment' with 'wmaker.' And this worked fine with .65, but doesn't work now.

I also could never get fluxbox to work though gdm, using the same method. I'm sure it's a really simple solution but I'm at a loss :(

Duh
