I probably missed some key thing that makes this work, but the last time I tried, using startx when you want to launch a desktop environment like GNOME or Xfce was quite painful and confusing. I do use startx on those systems where I just use fvwm2, but for a desktop environment it was much easier to get things working when starting with a login manager like gdm3. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
