change directory => /etc/X11/Sessions

You should already see kde-<version>. If you don't see anything else, you'll need to create one for flux. If you need to create one, it's just a simple bash script with on line of code. Example: for blackbox => /usr/bin/black

Create the file named fluxbox.

try the following:

cd `kde-config --prefix`/share/config/kdm

open up Xsession in your favourite editor (as root).

add the following lines (just the fluxbox part below), where you see it shoud go:

[code:1]
case $1 in
""&#41;
exec xmessage -center -buttons OK&#58;0 -default OK "Sorry, $DESKTOP_SESSION is no valid session."
;;
failsafe&#41;
exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
;;
fluxbox&#41;
exec PATH_TO_FLUXBOX
;;
custom&#41;
exec $HOME/.xsession
;;
default&#41;
exec /opt/kde3/bin/startkde
;;
*&#41;
eval exec "$1"
;;
esac
[/code:1]

If you are using the KDE login manager then you can alter your session type when you log in. I can't remember the menu name exactly but it's fairly obvious.

What distribution are you using? I don't have a Sessions folder or a similar file in /etc/X11/
Actually, there's no files pertaining to KDE in /etc/X11/
Weird....What distribution/kernel are you using, and what version of KDE are you running?

I didn't bother looking ar your sig before I wrote...
Apparently Gentoo w/ 2.6.9-rc1-mm3 and KDE 3.3.0 has a different directory structure than Mandrake 10 w/ 2.6.3-7mdk and kde 3.2.x.

It really shouldn't be this difficult to config KDM...

No quite. Directory structure is exactly the same and is irrelvant. What's different is where packages are installed at config time. What kernel/distro I'm running makes NO difference whatsoever. I have no idea where mandrake installs X and kde, by default. That's what you really need to find out.

It's not difficult to configure KDM. You're just not finding the right place. AFAIK, KDM looks [by default] in /etc/X11/Sessions.
