Hi.. Am taking a stab at this while you're waiting for others here. What kinds of options are you offered if you try accessing this same via your favorite file manager? I just test drove any old file, coincidentally (.)xsession-errors(.)old, by right clicking it and choosing Properties via Thunar. In Trixie and I'm sure in others, Thunar's primary General tab has an "Open With" option with a drop-down menu. I was able to change my own long time existing file association issue just now. If that option exists and seems like it might help but keeps reverting back to useless, it might take root permissions to perform that change, depending on the package involved. DISCLAIMER for new Users: PLEASE BE CAREFUL if you get curious and go poking around with something like this. I have been there, done that, many years ago. Ended up rendering my entire computer system useless while in Dolphin via Knoppix, I think it was. *oops* File managers can be pretty darn powerful. They're one of my favorite multi-times daily tools. Thank you, Developers! Cindy :) -- Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with rain drenched birdseed *
