I would like to set this as the default, but using runlevel 5 just brings up GDM by default and I have to select lxde every time. Anyone happen to know where you can can set this? it doesnt seem realted to prefdm, I tried that already.
If you select LXDE from GDM then it should remember that setting. I can't tell for sure if you've done that with the limited information you've provided.
I recently installed F10 on a low end laptop (P2 366MHz) w/ 128MB of ram. I'm using LXDE in combination with Slim (login manager). I probably should put put it in bugzilla but I created a lxde.switchdesk file (modified from the fluxbox one) so you can use switchdesk to change to LXDE. However, I found out the hard way that if you choose your desktop in GDM, switchdesk will have no effect.
all switchdesk does is create a file with a WM setting, so if you type startx to bring up X then it works. I mentioned that I had to select LXDE every time from GDM so thats what I have been doing, in fact the whole purpose of the message was to ask how to be able to stop doing that.
That's got to be a configuration issue or a bug. Once you set it, it should stay that way. The lack of response is either because no one else is having the problem or the message subject doesn't catch anyone's interest. Might try reposting it as "GDM does not remember session selection" or something like that. You could try another desktop and see if it's remembered on restart or not which might help narrow down the scope of the problem.
