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.
I bet hardly anyone even used LXDE, its a real shame, lean software like this is what we need more. Nothing remembers the session though..
you may have tried it already but xfce is also a great dm, lean and efficient
ya, thats what I used to use, but I would have preferred if it was actually like CDE as it was intended.
