David, you could try: script (1) - make typescript of terminal session after you login, type: script ~/filename.error then start Xtart, and eventually exit your windowmanager of choice. back at command line, type CTRL-D or exit to stop the script program. then less ~/filename.error $ man script for more ..... I tested it and it worked for me. HTH RickS +----------------------------------------------------------+ May your every expression be regular.
