Fedora window manager list

1

At the login screen of newer releases of fedora there is a drop down menu "session" where you can choose the window managers you have installed. gnome, mate, gnome classic, XBMC. etc How can I put an unofficial window manager there? Normally they appear there after install, I'm assuming there is a folder or something with those launchers in them.

Yep, you're right.

A new GDM Desktop Entry needs to go in /usr/share/xsessions. You can look at what's already there to help create your own (cp & modify), or you could read some of the documentation that will help you create your new unofficial_window_manager.desktop file. Perhaps you already have a unofficial_window_manager.desktop file and just need to drop it in the directory.
