OK,

	I'm getting there. I get "Trinity" as a choice now in the chooser, but it still
drops me back to the console. Here is what I did:

(1) create a trinity.desktop file in /etc/X11/sessions

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Exec=/opt/trinity/bin/startkde
TryExec=/opt/trinity/bin/startkde
Name=Trinity
Comment=The Trinity Desktop Environment. A powerful Open Source graphical
desktop environment

(2) edit /opt/trinity/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and change:

SessionDirs=/etc/X11/sessions


	Now Trinity and fluxbox show in the chooser, but choosing either and trying to
login drops me back to the console. Any reason kdm should not be launching
trinity when I choose Trinity as the session?

	The only .xsession-error was

/etc/X11/Xsession didn't exist

	So I fixed /opt/trinity/share/config/kdm/Xsession (line 46) as

[[ -f /etc/X11/Xsession ]] && . /etc/X11/Xsession

	That cured the error, but I'm still dropped back to the console. Any quick
fixes Serghei?
