If you want a certain thing to load, put that in ~/.Xclients Gnome: exec gnome-session KDE: exec startkde Etc. See the original .Xclients for the right syntax per system. I made a backup of that, and now all it has in it is: #!/bin/sh kfm & exec blackbox #exec startkde #exec gnome-session (The latter two make it easy to switch, just have to meddle with #'s) Paul -- All human wisdom can be captured in 2 words: HOPE and WAIT )0(- - [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] - -)0( http://nlpagan.net - ICQ 147208 Registered Linux User 174403
