> without having to add 'exec gnome-session' in every user's ~/.xinitrc?
> 
> The current scenario is, only successful 'root' logins starts the
> GNOME, while other normal user successful login is presented with the
> minimalist window manager (which is equivalent to 'Default System
> Session' from the GDM menu).

> I'd appreciate if anyone could help me to figure this one out.
