[LINUX] Can someone explain the recent xsession check-in to me?

Looks like the perfect solution!
I was planning to use twm to create a simular result. I do not know how much cpu&memory twm waste, but this is better of course.

Anybody know why the xsession script isn't getting installed when installing xbmc from the official PPA? It made it into the branch before rc1, right?

I checked out the trunk and it installs when doing sudo make install.

Yes, I have the same problem. I just installed xbmc 9.04 on ubuntu 9.04 and I do not get any new login session.
What to do?

Ok. Extra package needed to get the xbmc session.

Quote:sudo apt-get install xbmc-standalone

(I have confirmed in wmware that this gives the session. Not tested the functionality since xbmc does not want to run in wmare anymore)

Hopefuly someone will add this to the wiki.
