There seem to be all manner of X-type config files scattered hither and yon in home directories and /etc and their children. I think a lot of them never get looked at by the system, and I don't know how to figure out which ones really count! I installed 7.0.2 to go directly to X, and I don't know how to control the process... particularly in terms of which X programs start up automatically. I've seen references to homedir/.xsession, but I don't have one of those. I'm afraid to just create one in case I do it wrong and lose access to my system. -- Lane ____ Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA ---- Using Linux to get where I want to go...
