+# dsx is Mandrakesoft's Xtart modified to work with a Gentoo Linux system.
+# Gentoo doesn't use a wmsession.d directory, so we're going to accept the
+# /etc/X11/Sessions executables as our menu and our command parameters.
+# I also tried to increase the robustness of the entry checking and make the
+# error messages less condescending.
+# The 0 option for "no wm" was removed.  I altered it to run option 1 instead.
