Add sessions to KDM (KDE 4.1.3)

To manually add sessions to KDM in Archlinux, do the following:


cd /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions


You will see *.desktop files of many, many window managers and desktop environments. Obviously, unless you have all of these on your system, many of them are "just there." To add a session, simply copy any of the preexisting *.desktop files and modify it to suit your need.


In my case, I copied openbox.desktop to awesome.desktop and replaced "Exec=openbox" with "Exec=awesome."
