Are you using gdm? If so, try choosing the "Xsession" option on the "Session" menu. (At least, I think that's what the menu is called; it's the first one on the left.) This should read your .xsession file. > My .xsession file is the following: > > #!/bin/sh > # > exec /usr/bin/fetchmail However, this isn't going to be a particularly good .xsession file. Whenever this script (or, in this case, the process it execs) terminates, X will shut down, logging you back out again. You'll need to set your .xsession up accordingly; mine looks like this: #!/bin/bash xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc xrdb -cpp /usr/bin/m4 .Xresources xsetroot -solid "#008080" xset m 3 4 exec fvwm2 -cmd "FvwmM4 ~/.fvwm2rc" 1> ~/.FVWM-errors 2>&1 So, when I tell fvwm2 to exit, xsession is done, and I get logged out, which is what I want.
