Aside: this should just be ">", not "&>" (for all that it works in bash. The latter is an awful hack imported into bash from csh and used to do ">foo 2>&1" in one go, so he's effectively going ">foo 2>&1 2>&1". Ugly and nonportable. | Okay, I will give it a try, but I'm afraid my ~/.xinitrc isn't read by | gdm. You will need to edit your .xsession for a GDM environment. Of course, that means you will need to have a complete working session in it since it pre-empts the system default (and if you break the .xsession script you will need to escape back to your text console to fix it - urr, there may be a "failsafe" login mode - I normally do a text login and start X from there).
