#152 Default desktop selection does not work, Xorg is not configured
Closed: Fixed Opened by jsteffan.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

I created a gnome-free xfce desktop custom live cd that boots into runlevel 5.
Does not boot into xfce by default. Running startx starts twm (always good to
have that as a backup!) instead of xfce. startxfce4 starts xfce as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
revisor-2.0.3.9-1.fc8Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a gnome-free, kde-free live cd, selecting xfce desktop
2. boot the cd
3.

Actual results:
X w/o xfce

Expected results:
xfce desktop appears

Additional info:
probably just one example of a general problem - telling X which desktop to
start by default when not using gnome or kde.

This is a known issue, we will get to it. Thanks so much for reporting it so we add the ticket and get it fixed ;-)

Jon, isn't this something you were working on already? I know it was X, and not XFCE specific, but you may as well have solved this ticket ;-)

I think it was solved with the "is Xorg installed" logic. Closing, will test before release.
