I had a similar problem with an account on a RH Linux system. The solution was to change the last line of my .xsession file from /usr/bin/blackbox # Works with gdm on my Debian/Sarge system to exec /usr/bin/blackbox # Works with gdm on RH 7/8 The Debian system's /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config file has the line described by Karsten, the RH system doesn't have that file. Note that I don't know _why_ my solution works... HTH, PM -- Paul Mackinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
