Not so. /etc/X11/Xsession should run xterm (and attempt to run window managers mentioned in /etc/X11/window-managers only if .xsession doesn't exist _or isn't executable_ (look at lines 70-72 at /etc/X11/Xsession) OR /etc/X11/config doesn't have a line which begins with "allow-user-xsession" (which must be the default). I'd suspect you forgot to make your .xsession excutable ("chmod +x ~/.xsession") Cheers, --Amos --Amos Shapira | "Of course Australia was marked for 133 Shlomo Ben-Yosef st. | glory, for its people had been chosen Jerusalem 93 805 | by the finest judges in England."
