Then it exits too, and control is returned to the shell or the display manager. So when you had "exec wmaker&", the X server would execute it, the shell would return immediatelly after backgrounding the command, and the X server would quit. In general, the last command in an .xsession file should *not* be backgrounded. -- Carlos Sousa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
