I am having difficulty getting the xconsole to work running in fvwm 9or any window manager). I use a .xsession file in my home directory. Here is that file:
----------------- begin .xsession file ------------- #!/bin/bash #Add to path PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lib/X11:/usr/contrib/mh/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin export PATH DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY #Merge in user resources: #xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources #start Applications xterm -g 95x40-40+200 -sb & xterm -g 95x40-700+10 -sb & xconsole -exitOnFail -g 490x200-20-50 & xclock & xcal & #xmh -g 750x545+5+400 & #exmh & #start fishtank #xfishtank & #start window manager exec fvwm2 & #start controlling proc /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -iconify -rv -title root -name "root" -g +5+1 -------------------------- end .xsession file ------------- At first I did not have the "exitOnFail" in the xconsole line, and I would get an xconsole window that said "Couldn't open console". With the "exitOnFail", I just get no window at all. I created a test user account, and didn't put a .xsession file in its home directory. The xconsole opens and works fine. What is it about this xsession file that is trashing my xconsole? Any ideas greatly appreciated! -- Ken Gaugler email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: users.aimnet.com/~keng "The life of a Repo Man is always INTENSE..."
