This was hashed out many months ago here, with some (quite frankly) idiotic suggestions about changing the init sequence. By environment I assume you mean environment vars? In which case put them in "~/.bash_profile" and source it from within "~/.xsession" You can define "~/.xsession": ---------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh #~/.xsession #source files: [ -f ~/.bash_profile ] && . ~/.bash_profile #Add any other programs you want to start here #in the form: # # program & # program2 & # Start the window manager exec /path/to/my/window/manager ---------------------------------------------- Then just: chmod 700 ~/.xsession That will then get read when you login via [gx]dm. -- Thomas Adam ===== "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- http://linuxgazette.net "TAG Editor" -- http://linuxgazette.net "<shrug> We'll just save up your sins, Thomas, and punish you for all of them at once when you get better.
