The exec will overlay and replace the currently running shell with the listed command. Usually that would be a window manager. Is pland a window manager? If you want to start additional programs you should put them in the background. pland & The .xsession file is used by xdm/kdm/gdm. I am hoping that you also included a #!/bin/bash --login line and also a line that starts your window manager. #!/bin/bash --login pland & exec x-session-manager #exec fvwm2 #exec startkde #exec gnome-session If you are using 'startx' or simply 'xinit' then you would use the ~/.xinitrc file with different contents instead.
