Sorry, I didn't see your response, because I have two cooker one in swedish and one in English, and one isn't always visited after install. Yes, I had KDE installed but I have not seen it since those two times, when I reported. regards guran -- Mandrake Linux 9.0 kernel-2.4.19.24mdk-1-1mdk

In Mandrake8, startx added command line parameters to xinit arguments and correctly handled the case of program name as first argument: sysclientrc=/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc clientargs="" ... while [ "x$1" != "x" ]; do case "$1" in /''*|\.*) if [ "$whoseargs" = "client" ]; then if [ "x$clientargs" = x ]; then clientargs="$1" else clientargs="$clientargs $1" fi Now in current version startx is unconditionally using command line arguments if given: sysclientrc=/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc defaultclientargs="" clientargs="" ... while [ "x$1" != "x" ]; do case "$1" in --) whoseargs="server" ;; *) if [ "$whoseargs" = "client" ]; then clientargs="$clientargs $1" ... if [ x"$clientargs" = x ]; then clientargs="$defaultclientargs" fi That is wrong because default command to start (initrc) is lost in this case. -andrej > Francisco Alcaraz > Murcia (Spain) > > > El Sáb 26 May 2001 13:41, escribiste: > >>Since updating to 4.0.99.900 I can no more explicitly specify desktop in >>startx.

What about XFree86 4.0.3? Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) El Sáb 26 May 2001 13:41, escribiste: > Since updating to 4.0.99.900 I can no more explicitly specify desktop in > startx.

It was more like a bug and security report because AFAIK you shouldn´t be able to open a window on X if your not the ¨owner¨ and this way you can.
Re: [Cooker] startx
I had problems with startx -- :1 The solution for me was to remove $display from the last line of startx so it now reads: xinit $clientargs -- $serverargs The way it was meant it was doing xinit foo -- :0 :1 bar ! Which is very bad news. I have posted this to cooker before, and to the XFree86 site, but no fixes so far. Hope this fixes your situation.
