Good for you, but the original poster was asking about Red Hat. Debian and Red Hat start X differently.

Because the question was about Red Hat and on Red Hat there is a tool to do it for you. Further, whilst RH will recognise and use ~/.xinitrc if there, it prefers ~/.Xclients as far as I know. Finally, there is one more trick which avoids any of this. Apparently you can tell grub (default boot-loader for RH and Fedora; I am not sure this is the case on Debian) "3" or "5" and get it to boot to that run-level. You can even set it up to offer you the choice. Telsa _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
