You are right. I had commented out an EXPORT DISPLAY=:0 but there was another one lurking around. xterm -e login & created a process: login: <myuser> Password: Last login: Sat Jul 23 21:45:55 on console Running JF's .profile XX Setting up the X windows stuff bike:~ $ echo $DISPLAY bike:~ $ And now, $DISPLAY appears empty (or may contain some binary value ?) However, when it was set at :0 an xterm & did work. But XQuartz/X11 app was already running. I know that when it is not running, that special string for DISPLAY is crucial to get the X server started. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
