xdm generally runs .xsession, xinit (startx) runs .xinitrc. It seems to be fairly common to symlink the two together. > its called something else and started wmaker.

What's probably happening is that, since you don't have ~/.xsession, the system Xsession script runs the first of /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager and /etc/alternatives/x-display-manager that exists, and you get windowmaker as your system's default window manager. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
