Is there something wrong with using exec on an xterm, rather than a window manager? I'm currently doing that which makes the duration of an x session depend on the xterm rather than the window manager (which is what I prefer), and I haven't run into any problems. Am I doing something inherently bad? -alan -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
