I'm using FVWM, which has its own configuration file that can include an initialization routine. That lets me do things like: AddToFunc InitFunction "I" Module FvwmButtons + "I" exec xsetroot -solid slategrey + "I" exec xclock -update 5 -digital -fn 12x24 -geometry -0+0 + "I" exec xterm -ls -sb -sl 1000 -geometry 80x40+100+100 + "I" exec xset -dpms + "I" exec xset s off + "I" exec xset b 40 300 100 I could easily stick xscreensaver in there. I don't know if XFCE has something similar -- check the docs. -- Michael A. Marsh http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~mmarsh http://mamarsh.blogspot.com
