Hi Wayne, If you create a new .xinitrc file, (containing the line: gnome-session), it will be looked at first. > Apparently I'm using the file (xinitrc) in /etc/X11/init.

To stop xdm from starting at bootup, you can either remove it from your system: # apt-get remove xdm Or, if you want to leave it installed but don't want it to start up by default, try this: # update-rc.d -f xdm remove This will stop xdm from loading in all runlevels. -- Nick Jennings
