not sure about Ubuntu, but in Slackware there's /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc script which gets executed after login and is responsible for starting up the window manager and aux programs. Usually that's a symlink to either xinitrc.kde or xinitrc.twm. I would: # cd /etc/X11/xinit/ # cp xinitrc.twm xinitrc.rio # E xinitrc.rio (or vi xinitrc.rio, if you wish) # rm xinitrc; ln -s xinitrc.rio xinitrc coil!dexen!/etc/X11/xinit $ diff -burN xinitrc.twm xinitrc.rio --- xinitrc.twm 2011-08-19 09:44:02.435802566 +0200 +++ xinitrc.rio 2011-08-19 09:44:19.441801567 +0200 @@ -26,8 +26,4 @@ # start some nice programs -/usr/bin/twm & -/usr/bin/xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 & -/usr/bin/xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 & -/usr/bin/xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 & -exec /usr/bin/xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login +exec $PLAN9/bin/twm & -- dexen deVries [[[↓][→]]] For example, if the first thing in the file is: <?kzy irefvba="1.0" rapbqvat="ebg13"?> an XML parser will recognize that the document is stored in the traditional ROT13 encoding.
