Ok...looking further into my startup scripts, I see that the flag in the /etc/init.d/xdm file has a flag for using this default-display-manager file. It's called
HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER=true and as shown above it's set to true. If set to false, is it safe to say that the .xinitrc and .xsession files would come into play? Out of curiousity, I think KDE is currently started by using this file, b/c the default-display-manager file calls KDE. How come KDE doesn't require my user to have a .xsession file nor a .xinitrc file? Thanks again. Tony UcedaVélez Security Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] 877.884.1110 ---------- SecureWorks.

You only need to edit your ~/.xsession to change your window manager or desktop environment...
