Yes this works with .Xclients, but I am looking for a simple way that is not Window Manager dependant like .Xclients is. Previously in Redhat 7.3 all I had to do was create an .xsession file in /home/user with the following: #!/bin/sh exec xterm & Then no matter what window manager I loaded I always had xterm load. If I create an .Xclients with only the above lines then X will not load properly since the Window manager is loaded as well via .Xclients code. Did Redhat change this behaviour in RH8? Is there a simpler method than using .Xclients? Like .xinitrc or .xsession used to provide.
