Might depend on your system config, I've never fully understood the difference between ~/.xinitrc, ~/.xsession, /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, etc. mostly because each window manager's init script seems to treat the files differently. I'm not running XDM (just "startx" from the command line) and my ~/.xinitrc works fine. If it's not working for you you'll probably need to track down where exactly Awesome is being loaded from and look there for details. I know the default Awesome initscripts (at least on my distro) don't run ~/.xsession at startup (where I think you normally put your startup commands) so I had to write my own ~/.xinitrc which ran the .xsession file then the system-wide Awesome one (/etc/X11/Sessions/awesome for me.) > FYI, I'm running Debian Squeeze (well, technically Crunchbang > Statler). Sounds painful ;-) Cheers, Adam. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.
