The Xsession file /etc/X11 wasn't changed by the X11 update.

I updated the entire X11 release, because I needed a new XF86_SVGA server, and wanted to use XF86Setup; a side effect was that it broke the Debian customization. I think I've fixed the problem by renaming /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession and creating a link pointing to /etc/X11/Xsession. At least now I get the first window manager listed in /etc/X11/window-managers anyway. -- Rick Venable =====\ |=| "Eschew Obfuscation" FDA/CBER Biophysics Lab |____/ |=| Bethesda, MD U.S.A. | \ / |=| ( Not an official statement or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | \ / |=| position of the FDA; for that, http://www.erols.com/rvenable \/ |=| see http://www.fda.gov )
