How would I go about having two distinct sessions to chose from in GDM?
That is, both start up GNOME with the same user (file permissions) but different startup applications and, say, another wallpaper.
The goal would be to have a "normal" session and a "beamer" session for presentations on a laptop... with certain things not being started (compiz, dock) while in the beamer session but having the same user, so I don't have to worry about moving files somewhere else or not being able to edit them.
In the old GNOME session settings one could save a certain session and then chose it from GDM, but I have no clue how to do this in 9.04.
