Ha! Putting exec xterm in .xinitrc worked, as did exec kde2. Normally I just have a .xsession with: #exec blackbox #exec ion exec kde2 #exec wmaker and nothing else - should I just use .xinitrc instead then? And why has .xsession suddenly starting playing around? Many thanks, Harvey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
