Ok, I see. I use wdm and I hacked /etc/X11/wdm/Xsession so it never passes an argument to the real Xsession (except failsafe), so my .xsession is _always_ used.
I think you're past the point where your configuration is supported in any way ;).

Exactly. Actually it didn't use to be that way, but I saw it recommended somewhere as I experimented with different wm's yesterday, and it struck me as a good idea, because it means I can start clients only after the wm runs and I never see the clients in half baked state without decorations. Is there a good argument _against_ this "weirdness"? :-)
Not really, but I wouldn't use 'openbox-session' with it. -- Mikael Magnusson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
