I don't know what that means. Is that some sort of virtualization environment? Are you running Debian as a "guest OS" inside of some other OS? Under normal operation, Debian is booted directly by your machine's firmware/BIOS. The Linux kernel is executed with various parameters by the boot loader (GRUB or equivalent). The Linux kernel probes hardware, then launches the Debian userspace software suite. Once booting is completed, under normal operation, you will either be on a text console, with a login: prompt (white text on a black background usually), OR you will be in a graphical environment, with some sort of GUI login window. That GUI login window is called a Display Manager. If you don't have one of those -- if you login directly on the text console -- then you would usually run the "startx" command in order to launch the X11 graphical environment, with openbox and so on. The question was which one of these you're doing -- startx, or a GUI login. If your "userland app" bypasses BOTH of these and does some sort of "autologin" (where you never type your username or password, but instead just go directly into a GUI environment, like a kiosk mode), then that's a third possibility. Knowing which of these things you're doing would be helpful. > > Also, how are you launching your "default browser"?

I have no idea what "wikipedia wpcleaner" is either. Is it an application that you installed? Does it have its own configuration menu/files, or does it have instructions for how to configure which browser it launches?
