Re: Check the ~/.xinitrc (or ~/.xsession or ~/.Xclients) for the user in Re: question. Make sure they don't start any other wms (stand alone or as Re: part of GNOME/KDE). If they do, comment out that line and put E in Re: instead. If E is working for root, look at root's .xinitrc and see if Re: you can use it as an example. That's where I've been looking and after editing it I still have the same troubles. I'll have another look at it and see if it's something silly. The problem may be that there are other wm listed already in ~/.xsession but I presumed that since E is the default wm for root and 'startx' launches it just fine that I could just follow the same procedure for user. Also I recall reading that if E were listed at the end of ~/.xsession it would be default. I'll go edit ~/.xsession and comment out the other wm entries as soon as I finish recompiling .gcc (a few hours :P). Re: KDE and GNOME start their own window managers. If you want to use them, Re: it's best to start E first and then start your panels and file manager. I've installed SourceMage Linux- a source distro and I've been using TWM which is installed by default. I do have other wm's installed but I just wasn't happy with them. It was while running TWM that I first installed and tried E. which is also when E "configured my files". It would be nice if it told you which files it was editing specifically. That window that popped up was a littel too windows like. :) I think you have put me back on the right track though. Re: You can try changing the wm they load, but this can cause race Re: conditions and other problems. I think I was oblivious to the fact that a window manager and a desktop environment were not one and the same thing. :) Thanks Lazlo -- ______________________________________________ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr
