xfce doesn't replace gnome kali 2017.2

[Brockway]

in both a fresh 2017.2 as well as a dist-upgrade 2017.1 (where xfce had previously replaced gnome) xfce does not replace gnome. With the former instance there are no errors related to the XFCE installation part of the rolling script.

I've spent a couple hours trying to figure out why it does this for my fork of this repo (https://github.com/Raikia/os-scripts) but I haven't figured it out.

That said, my workaround for this is:

sudo apt remove --purge gnome-sesssion
reboot

This will remove the Gnome session completely (leaving all the main parts of gnome that you might need for GTK styling etc) and will make your system boot into XFCE.

If anyone has any real fixes for this, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks for the heads up. Will get a fix out for this shortly.
