Also from here: http://wiki.debian.org/Xfce it suggests to put the following in ~/.xinitrc, for normal "startx" to work (I'll try it after this): exec ck-launch-session startxfce4 Might be preferable.. Finally, any ideas why the xfce4 session is not working when chosen from lightdm? (not a priority for me, since I use startx[fce4] anyway ... perhaps my next update will solve it too - I am offline for updates until I visit a friend) Thanks again Zenaan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
