This what I did in the past, but this means that when startx is used under Debian, the Xsession settings will not be run. This may or may not be what the user wants. If you want Xsession settings under Debian, then having a .xinitrc script that contains: #!/bin/sh if [ -r $HOME/.xsession ]; then STARTUP=$HOME/.xsession fi . /etc/X11/Xsession may be the solution. I have not tried. There might be other things to do, but you get the idea. On other systems, a symlink to .xsession may be OK. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
