[Cooker] No KDE 3 option in Login Screen Menu.

In order to attempt to sort through another issue I did a fresh install
of alpha 2 with ONLY KDE 4 selected in installer. I then booted, added
repos, ran XFdrake to get nvidia working [nv isn't working for me], ran
'urpmi --auto-update' and when that finished rebooted. Next was 'urpmi
task-kde3'. Rebooted again. Several times now. And I have no entry for
KDE 3 in Login Screen Menu. How to correct? Or is a package missing from
'task-kde3'?

Missing package indeed! This is interesting. I installed
'task-gnome-minimal' and logged out. And lo! I had KDE 3 listed in the
Login Screen Menu. Along with of course Gnome. Who'd a thunk?

More likely that kdebase-common (which owns /etc/X11/wmsession.d/05KDE3) is
missing a call to fndSession in it's postinstall script, whereas whatever put
the equivalent file there for GNOME does call it (which will of course add
KDE3 to the appropriate places).

Oh, and no need to reboot to see changes, just restart the 'dm' service, or
restart the X server (CTRL-ALT-BKSP), or restart the display manager.

Regards,
Buchan

It's not missing an explicit call to fndSession, since it's now
handled with rpm filetriggers
