Hi guys, I'm having some difficulty with xterm under ctwm or fvwm not honouring the resources in .Xdefaults. This only occurs when X is started by gdm; with gnome, kde or xfce4 the xterm resources in .Xdefaults are honoured but not when ctwm or fvwm sessions are selected. The system is FC6. The sessions files for ctwm and fvwm in /usr/share/xsessions/ are: ctwm.desktop -> [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=CTWM Comment=ICCCM-compliant multiple virtual desktop window manager Exec=ctwm and fvwm.desktop -> [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=FVWM Comment=ICCCM-compliant multiple virtual desktop window manager Exec=fvwm Terminal=False [Window Manager] SessionManaged=true When I replace gdm with the standard X-windows display manager xdm the problem disappears. But of course the choice of sessions as managed by gdm also disappears. The change of display manager is implemented with /etc/initscript -> if [ $RUNLEVEL -eq 5 ] then DISPLAYMANAGER=XDM export DISPLAYMANAGER else DISPLAYMANAGER= fi eval exec "$4" Does anyone know how to stop gdm hiding .Xdefaults from ctwm of fvwm. Any comments or ideas would be appreciated Thanks Malcolm Kay -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
