man rxvt and man bash to find a command-line option that does what you want. Then change the command line that XFCE4 uses to invoke it. (right-click, properties) Having said that, I can't see any really good way to do what you want. The only way I can see is to specify a specific .bashrc file for bash. rxvt -e /bin/bash --rcfile myrcfile Where myrcfile contains: source ~/.bashrc cd mydirectory Note: I haven't tested this. -- Richard Urwin
