Finally I found it. This is the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup: #!/bin/sh # # /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup # # This script is run whenever xdm is asked to manage a display other than :0 exit 0 <---------- !!! # XBanner - begin /usr/X11R6/bin/freetemp /usr/X11R6/bin/xbanner -file /etc/X11/XBanner.ad # XBanner - end
Moving 'exit 0' to the end of the script solves the problem. Is this a bug in the xbanner package? -- Tad
