mine start with SHLVL=2 do you exec enlightenment in your .xsession script? ie: #!/bin/sh exec enlightenment OR is it: #!/bin/sh enlightenment the EXEc line REPLACES the login shell process WITH whatever it execs (in this case enlightenment) meaning you save having a usless unused shell process around. this is probably why its level 3 for you as you have an extra shell still hanging in above execution of E itself. :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
