This has _nothing_ to do with the core of FreeNX, though its a quite good idea for \
the redesign.

You can very easily do it yourself:

Add a /usr/bin/my-gnome-session script and do whatever you want in it,

Change

GNOME_COMMAND in either nxloadconfig or node.conf.

Well, from a developer perspective I find it irritating that KDM / GDM do set \
environment variables that are needed for normal operation.

(Because what if I want to use good old XDM instead ... Then I cannot use GNOME?)

You could also try to find out, which script they use for startup.

2 years ago it was completely okay to just start startkde or gnome-session and \
everything did work.

Now you need to spawn dbus with it and there seems to be no extra script to do it.

This is not only a problem for FreeNX, but also for XDM or even other custom DMs and \
I do not really like this development. (I could be wrong though of course)

It is okay that lots of daemons can be started and the work distributed by them, but \
there should be an easy to use "facade" to spawn it all via one command.
