Re: [STUMP] Ubuntu 11.10 and Unity with Stumpwm

[Stephen Balousek]

Hi David,

You might be missing the session file.  Both GDM and LightDM look in 
/usr/share/xsessions/ to determine which window managers to allow you to 
select.

Here is the one I created for my 11.10 install:

$ cat /usr/share/xsessions/stumpwm.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Stump Window Manager
Comment=StumpWM is a tiling window manager written in Common Lisp
Exec=ssh-agent stumpwm
TryExec=stumpwm
Icon=
Type=Application

Hope it helps,
- Steve
