Now how do I get rid of my initial xterm window that pops up when I first log in? I copied my /etc/profile file to ~/.bachrc to get the new xterm window to behave like the original one when I first log in. I hope that was the right thing to do. It seems to be working. ~$ cat .bashrc #!/bin/bash # ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells. PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/local/netscape:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/kent" export PATH PS1 export PS1='\w\$ ' # Alias list. alias l="ls -alF" alias sh="shutdown -h now" alias sr="shutdown -r now" alias n=" netscape -geometry =752x571+76+0 &" alias x="xterm -geometry =80x24+194+142 &" umask 002 I thought about putting a "#" in front of the xterm line in /etc/X11/Xsession to kill that first xterm but my instinct tells me I shouldn't do it to this file. Where does the default configuration come from? I have looked through most of the fvwm2 files and don't seem to be able to locate it. Thanks, Kent
