My question is with gdm how do I get gdm to allow me to choose between XFCE and Bspwm? Hi, I think I had a similar problem some time ago, the trick that made it work for me was making sure that the .xsession file was executable, i.e. $ chmod +x $HOME/.xsession Anyway, if you install the window manager in the system config, an xsession file should be installed along with the package in a place where GDM can find it, at least this is what other window managers do. Once you've done that you should see BSPWM appear among the login options. Hope this helps! -- Mario
