More complete test: after having removed the EXPORT DISPLAY=:0 in my .profile bike:~ $ echo $DISPLAY bike:~ $ xterm & [1] 53519 bike:~ $ xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set So now I know why I had that explicit setting of $DISPLAY in there. Perhaps it is mucked in some legacy file still hanging around in /ETC or elsewhere. Note: I always start X11 app first, so never worry about the "autostart" before with the special value of DISPLAY. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
