I hate to think that my version of 1.2 (now 1.3) is idiosyncratic, but the global xsession and the global xinitrc files are identical. I have attempted in my own halting way to parse my way thru the file(s), and the result appears to me to be that some resource files do not get read. I would be pleased if someone would correct my impression if I am wrong. -- Gary -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
