I use ~/.Xdefaults and run `xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults' out of my .xsession file. Try something like: XTerm*geometry: 80x40 XTerm*font: lucidasanstypewriter-10 XTerm*foreground: white XTerm*background: black XTerm*saveLines: 1000 Netscape*geometry: 960x768 Netscape*fontList: lucidasans-10 Netscape*XmPushButton*shadowThickness: 1 Netscape*XmPushButtonGadget*shadowThickness: 1 Netscape*toolBar.myshopping.isEnabled: false Netscape*toolBar.destinations.isEnabled: false Netscape*toolBar.search.isEnabled: false Netscape*toolBar.viewSecurity.isEnabled: false Netscape*toolBar.home.isEnabled: true Netscape*toolBar.print.isEnabled: false > I am also trying to find out how I set shutdown so that it can be operated > by a normal user, rather than requiring root access.

The GDM package from Helix GNOME works, and allows normal users to select `Halt' from the system list. Sorry, can't help much more. -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"
