I'd say this is because the color palette is to small for it. just a thought, I'm probably wrong... to see if I'm right try making a small .xsession like this: ---------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash exec netscape ---------------------------------------------- don't forget chmod +x it :) then see if it still shows only grey boxes... if it does, then i'm almost surely wrong in my assumption Marcin -- -------------------------------- Marcin Owsiany [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------
