First of all, the .xsession~ file is merely an automatic backup made by your text editor. You can safely delete it; it will never be used by X. Second, "home directory" does not mean /home. It means /home/username. Your .xsession file needs to be in /home/kent. > I rebooted and nothing changed in X.

BTW thanks to everyone for helping me get > Communicator up and running:) Be sure you have the following line in /etc/X11/config: allow-user-xsession Also, when you make a change to X, you don't need to reboot your machine for it to take effect. It won't harm anything, of course, but it's quicker to simply restart X. You can do that easily with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE. noah PGP public key available at http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/home/httpd/n/nmeyerha/mail.html or by 'finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNosSp4dCcpBjGWoFAQH0pQP/ffAFd0OlgYeH+cTm0Kry+y2mPt1AzOQP eItydvXK0zXpbmPcMvFw2xYMEl2WPaJThJqPY/IJdTN2VopZv2yVwKFzukdfZATd UH1Dl0pPb8maErLtBV2m0mt3J5wHImmtvyODI2WiqMu4M6FzQ5UdGo6VaoIK14Rk C285fDlZFCs= =mDuq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
