Right, just make sure your bash-specific com- mands (like alias defs) are in .bashrc so they will be run at term start. > Since I am not a gdm/kdm user, I cannot tell how it works there, but the > idea shoudl be the same, I guess. The problem with ~/.xsession for kdm is that you lose the session selection capability of the login app. I ended up creating a new mechanism that sources a local user init file before running the main Xsession. There might be a better way that doesn't require modifying /etc/X11/kdm/Xsession and I'd be happy to hear it. -=greg
