Re: Solved. But why? was Re: RH5.1/gnome-session problem

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

There is a bug in the latest gnome-core.  It installs default.session in
$(prefix)/share, but gnome-session expects to find it in
$(prefix)/share/gnome.  Copying the file accross to the correct location
will also fix the problem.  The bug should be fixed in the next tarball
release.

James.
