I doubt that's it, because XDM runs ~/.xsession (Or was it ~/.xinitrc? I can't remember which, I just use a symbolic link between the two). In this case I doubt it is the display manager, although it wouldn't hurt for Terrence to try wdm and see what happens when he runs a default session; It seems to work fine for me. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGEpoy/o7Q/FCvPe0RAhHhAKCve6ZN7wGi3jwHnipoBenaQVPpRgCdEwSk rG9nANw1iKLGJGLFiGGRlD0= =2pZi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
