In my first posting I have done a mistake. The program (xplanetbg) does not stay alive when using startx. Only when using kdm!
Now I thought the problem could be solved by restarting or stopping and starting X. But even after this xplanetbg stays alive. The only thing I know is that ~/.xsession is sourced by /etc/X11/Xsession. Maybe I should post my problem to the author of that script. But I don't know who the author is. So if you know who the author is or to who I should post it please let me know.
