You might also want to check /etc/X11/config; from a very recent posting to this list: 1. Using xdm If you are running xdm (that is, you see a login screen in X) look at the configuration files in /etc/X11 and /etc/X11/xdm. /etc/X11/config has some options that may be affecting you; mine looks like this: =============================================== # This file contains configuration flags for the X Window System. # For a description of the meanings of the flags, see # /usr/doc/X11/debian.README run-xconsole obey-nologin allow-user-resources allow-user-modmap allow-user-xsession allow-failsafe start-xdm no-xdm-start-server =============================================== You have to have allow-user-resources for your .xsession file to be executed. <snip> Also, notice the reference to /usr/doc/X11/debian.README; there's probaly a lot to learn from man x and man xdm as well, though those are quite condensed/cryptic.
