That's what you want, put that wherever your DM expects it. This thread is a train wreck of confusion, ignore everything but that script. As for putting exec in loops, it destroys the whole process. exec is the goto or tail recursion of shell scripts. In this case, you can safely not use the exec, it's just a quick hack to save one process. > I wish there would be a good howto about this stuff, so that regular users > could benefit from it. dwm isn't really for regular users; it's for competent hackers. No howto necessary; you'll know what you need to do when you learn shell scripting and figure out what scripts are getting called to set up your X session (usually one of: .xinitrc, .xsession, dwm.desktop, etc). Good luck! /wolf
