It doesn't really matter if the last thing is the window manager particularly, but certainly the example above won't work: because wmaker is run in the foreground (without '&'), nautilus won't be run until it exits. When your .xsession script terminates, so does your X session, and you'll be logged out. The last thing in your .xsession should therefore be something long-running. Most people use a window manager or a session manager for this, but it's also possible to use an xterm, xconsole, or something along those lines. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
