Once upon a time I setup gdm to launch my .xsession file when I logged
in.  This required that I edit gdm.conf and change the
SessionDesktopDir such that:  SessionDesktopDir=/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/Sessions/

If I were to do this in custom.conf (which is basically empty), what
section would I do it in?

Or is there some other (better) way to accomplish this.  Since I do not 
use Gnome in any way (just gdm)... I need a way (my .xsession file) to 
get things up and on their feet.

Thanks.
