1. For some reason when my X starts, it sets the DISPLAY variable to :0.0 rather than hostname:0.0. One of the many info sources I read in trying to figure this out said that it was imperative to properly set DISPLAY before trying to use xauth. So I did 'export DISPLAY=myhostname:0.0 (I'm using dual monitors, so I did this again for myhostname:0.1). 2. The other difference from your script was in the xauth command. To get it to work for me, I had to use: xauth add $(hostname)/unix:1 . $MCOOKIE Note the difference 'unix:1' vs 'unix$1'. So in the end it finally works, although I still get that font related err like you do. I've appended by script below. Many thanks for the script, the web/bug report link, and the help in general. Kevin //----- #!/bin/sh MCOOKIE=3D$(mcookie) xauth add $(hostname)/unix:2 . $MCOOKIE xauth add localhost/unix:2 . $MCOOKIE Xnest -geometry 1015x740+0+28 :2 & sleep 1 fluxbox -display :2 xauth remove $(hostname)/unix:2 localhost/unix:2 exit 0 //----- PS - I set up the second Xserver on 2 rather than 1 for no particular reason. Both work. I also have Ion as my default wm, and this script loads up Fluxbox so that I can do the GUI thinks I need with Gimp, etc. Otherwise it's 95% of my time in Ion, which is really great. -- Kevin Coyner mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key: 1024D/8CE11941 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
