* match those name(s) with the command(s) necessary to actually start the desktop environment(s)
* match those name(s) with the command(s) necessary to actually start the desktop environment(s)


The key point to keep in mind is that the name(s) of the desktop(s) listed in the SLiM configuration file must be matched with those listed in the X-Windows Initialisation file. As such, it is therefore '''<u>vitally important</u>''' that the name of any given desktop environment is listed '''EXACTLY''' the same way in both files. This includes the use of captial and lower-case letters. Should there by any difference at all, then there will not be a match, and your chosen desktop environment will not be started. The names and commands themselves must be added after the '''DEFAULTSESSION=''' command. All the names used in the SLiM configuration file have been listed exactly the same way here, and have been '''<font color="green">colured in green</font color>''' for illustrative purposes.
