the SAME EXACT THING was happening to me. i'm not all that adept at configuring this X stuff, so if you ask me there's something behind-the-scenes that appears to have a bit of a hole in it. (i.e. instead of clobbering the saved session with the current session, it appears to APPEND the current session to the previously stored session, hence doubling every instance of every window for the next time you log in.) and i'm on woody/stable. my solution? apt-get install kde i know, it may be from the frying pan into the fire (there are some odd things with dialogs tucking themselves under the menubar across the top of my screen, and the kde panel not displaying itself properly on first startup -- i have to 'hide' and then 'unhide' it first) but it's working reasonably well for my purposes. -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.4.20-k6 #1 Mon Jan 13 23:49:14 EST 2003 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #13 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : How can you generate RANDOM EMAIL SIGNATURES? Many email clients have this feature -- for mutt, simply declare in your ~/.muttrc file something like send-hook debian- "set signature='~/.signature-debian |'" (note the quoted value ends with a 'pipe|' symbol) Then whenever you send email to any debian-* address, it'll append the output from your script, instead of appending a static file.
