Perhaps it's not detaching (backgrounding itself)? Yes again. It seems that my belt-and-braces approach of using xplanetbg which is supposed to background it plus the ampersand, &, which is supposed to do the same has not worked. I shall just have to take it out of my .xinitrc and make some sort of alias in .zshrc to start it. A pity, as it is a very pretty background and I am rather lazy. Thanks for your response. Doug.
