Description magnux77 2014-01-05 16:13:18 CET
Description of problem:
At installation time, XFCE has been selected as Desktop Environment
At the end of install reboot is needed and then IceWM is selected by default.
XFCE should be the Desktop Environment by default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and choose XFCE as DE
2. Reboot
3. On Login panel, the default DE is IceWM

The default DE shoud be the one has been selected at install time.
Very confusing for beginners cause, at the first install and the first boot, you are nervous and you are logging in fast. Seeing IceWM, beginners think XFCE is a very poor DE.
For others it also confusing cause it is wrong : when you select one DE you can not imagine you will be logged in an other DE. But you know it is not Xfce.


Reproducible:
