I already emailed you about this earlier:
Guys,
In Arch, how do I make kde3 appear as a choice in the kdm greeter? I thought I just had to add a kde.desktop launching /opt/kde/bin/startkde in /usr/share/xsessions, but that didn't do it. What's the trick?
Try putting it in /etc/X11/sessions
i.e., if you've already got kde(mod)3 installed:
$ ln -s /opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/sessions/kde.desktop /etc/X11/sessions

DR, Thank you for putting me on the right path. For the record, you don't need your link in /etc/X11/sessions, you need the link in "/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions". Adding the following link did the trick ln -s /etc/X11/sessions/kdemod3.desktop /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions Now there is a kdemod3 entry in the kdm greeter. Learning has occurred. -- David C.
