My solution would be to create a ~/.xsession file, and put in the line: exec wmaker
...then restart X and see what you get. AFAIK, .xinitrc only works when you're starting x from the console (IE: 'startx'), whereas xdm/kdm/gdm use .xsession (actually, .xsession works for me from 'startx' as well...) -b3 On Wed, Apr 11, 2001 at 01:49:40PM +0100, Wayne Brown wrote: > Hi, > I have installed Debian 2.2.r2 ok.
