Does /etc/X11/Xsession.options have allow-user-xsession? Which X version are you running? What do /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager and /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager point to? Maybe wdm is the missing link here, I don't use them so I don't know if it re-reads your .xsession once it logs you in. Perhaps the man page for it has something to say. Have you also tried making your .xsession: xscreensaver & exec icewm (or whatever the command is, I don't know) --mike
