Sorry, my reply was a bit confusing. I was referring to the DISPLAYMANAGER setting and assumed you were, since you use kdm. If you set the use of gdm or kdm in DISPLAYMANAGER then XSESSION is ignored, so each user chooses their window manager when they log in. XSESSION is only used with xdm or startx. -- Neil Bothwick If you think the problem is bad now, just wait until we've solved it.
