Fixed 'Summary' and '%description'.

Also, added wmx.desktop. gdm has a defaul search path for .desktop files
(/etc/X11/sessions/:/etc/X11/dm/Sessions/:/usr/share/gdm/BuiltInSessions/:/usr/share/xsessions/)
Now, of these, only the latter two (both in /usr/share/) already existed on my
stock FC4 machine. So, I placed wmx.desktop in /usr/share/xsessions/ along with
the kde and gnome .desktop files which were already there. Why would I go put
them in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/ instead ? Is the /usr/share/xsessions/ location
being deprecated?

Also, looking at WindowMaker's example, I don't get the purpose of the shell
script that goes in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/WindowMaker; where would that get
called from ? Is it supposed to be a wrapper for the wmaker binary called
by gdm via the .desktop file, or ???

Thanks,
Gabriel
