Probably in ~/.xsession, i.e. the .xsession file in your home directory. Something like: #!/bin/sh xsetbg /usr/src/linux/Documentation/logo.gif & xterm & fvwm2 # No "&" ! Alternatively, for just a colour: cd; mkdir .fvwm2; echo steelblue > .fvwm2/background.color and log in again. This is a Debian feature. Look in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt for the names. Type "xsetroot -solid peachpuff" to test them. > -XV: I've been looking for this program, but I don't have it. > I've been searching it in DSELECT, but I couldn't find it. > Where is XV? In non-free on the ftp site. Easiest is probably to download the .deb from the mirror dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386 (or wherever it is) and run "dpkg -i xv..." on it as root. Then read the copyright in /usr/doc/xv to see *why* it's in non-free. > [2 <text/html; us-ascii (7bit)>] Is this really necessary? -- Carey Evans <*> http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ gc "As a concept, virtual reality seems to appeal to people who spend a lot of time indoors." - Gregory Benford -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
