While that would technically work, it's a bit of a kludge, and I'm not fond of those. Perhaps I should have specified an _X-related_ config file (by a definition in which xinit, including startx, qualifies as being X-related). (Sorry if this looks like moving the goalposts - that's not my intention, I'm just trying to clarify what I was originally asking for.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
