Yes I know. I downloaded the set of patches for .23 and applied it to .23 and menutranslucency is working as expexted. This is not a problem at all. My initial guess was that these patches caused esperanza and then x to crash. Now I think it is something in .23 which makes the cock up (broadly speaking). Because, recent esperanza works with .18 _but_ the same version _do not_ with .23 with and without the patches. > > > Okay, I will give it a try, but I'm afraid my ~/.xinitrc isn't read by > > gdm. > > You need to boot on console.
