hi Ship's Log, Lt. ktb, Stardate 301298.1945: > I then used locate .xsession and found three files in /home/kent > directory: > .xsession~ *~ are backupfiles > .xsession that is the right one > .xsession-errors that's the errors which occure starting X > > I placed "exec fvwm2" in both the .xsession and .xsession~ files and .xsession is enough

Rebooted and no change. > What am I doing wrong? rebooting, this is Linux not Windblows :-) have you checked /etc/X11/(Xsession.)options ? there has to be an 'allow-user-xsession' in it otherwise your .xsession is ignored. you should also start your .xsession with the following line #!/bin/sh right at the beginning, marking it as a shell-skript.
