How to be able to choose WMFS on GDM

[BenoitMio]

Hello

I had some problems to get WMFS available on my debian squeeze with Gnome Display Manager.

WMFS were simply absent.

I've edited the wmfs.desktop in /usr/share/xsessions/ if it's not present move it to this location.

Before it was

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=wmfs
Comment=Window Manager From Scratch
TryExec=wmfs
Exec=wmfs

I edited with

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=wmfs
Comment=Window Manager From Scratch
Exec=wmfs
Type=XSession

Now it's work.

so what really solve the issue ??
removing the "TryExec" line or add the "Type" one..

I just did few tests.

with

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=wmfs
Comment=Window Manager From Scratch
TryExec=wmfs
Type=XSession

it doesn't work

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=wmfs
Comment=Window Manager From Scratch
Exec=wmfs
Type=Application

it's work
