Yes, by creating ~/.xsession, you've taken complete control over the X clients that get started. You've not started a window manager there, therefore one does not get started. Make sure the last line of your ~/.xsession is 'exec fvwm' (or whatever other manager you want to use). Also make sure you are backgrounding any other X clients you start there. > Trying to start fvwm2 ends in an error-message, saying that fvwm2 > doesn't find its default-font. At the other hand, "fslsfonts -server > 'unix/:7100'" can find all fonts. No, the actual message is no doubt to the effect that it cannot find the 'fixed' font. This is a FAQ. Refer to the X FAQ in the xfree86-common package. -- Marc Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
