Crear unha sesión personalizada

To create your own session with customized configuration, follow these steps:

  1. Create a .desktop file in /etc/X11/sessions/new-session.desktop. Make sure that the file specifies the following entries:

    [Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=Sesión personalizada
Comment=Esta é a súa sesión personalizada
Exec=gnome-session --session=new-session

    The Exec entry specifies the command, possibly with arguments, to execute. You can run the custom session with the gnome-session --session=new-session command.

    For more information on the parameters that you can use with gnome-session, see the gnome-session man page.

  2. Create a custom session file in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/new-session.session where you can specify the name and required components for the session:

    [GNOME Session]
Name=Sesión personalizada
RequiredComponents=gnome-shell-classic;gnome-settings-daemon;

    Note that any item that you specify in RequiredComponents needs to have its corresponding .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/.

After configuring the custom session files, the new session will be available in the session list on the GDM login screen.
