True, exec fvwm & is redundant. Drop the &. Note, btw, that fvwm & *won't* work---when .xsession (or its replacement process, in the face of an exex) terminates, the X server quits. (This bit me pretty badly when I first started hacking my .xinitrc/.xsession a few years back.) Either `fvwm' or `exec fvwm' is fine; the latter is somewhat preferable, as it doesn't keep the shell process hanging around until you quit X. Richard
