His does. why? For the same reason my method would also have worked. The /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc which exists is exec'd since it does exist and is executable. Subsequently /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients also exists and will be exec'd and that is pretty much useful only for GNOME or KDE. So.... /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc needs to be modified to get xfce to run. Michael's is modified to suit the need. I also modified it, but choose to do it in a different fashion. Both methods work fine. You could have also modified /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients to include support for xfce. But, that is probably a bad idea since it very well may get changed on updates. -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
