This ended up being a simple script error. I changed to the seti directory to start seti and then run xsessions. In KDE, this didn't seem to affect anything, In XFCE4, it left everything starting in the seti directory. THanks for the help. DBW -- ( )_( ) ( 0 0 ) --( )-- --0-- Never argue with an idiot.
