That's logical. The .xsession is run as a script. So it starts all programs and if none of these tie it up the script ends and so does your xsession. > > What I want is for several programs to be run when I log in such as xterm > and xmodmap.

That way if the sysadmin changes them I'll see the changes. I think you can use the generic 'x-window-manager' which will point to the selected default. So you could end your .xsession with either 'exec x-window-manager' (though the exec is probably not necessary). greets, Wim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
