I don't agree with this. I don't use a desktop manager but even if I did, I'd prefer to start X via startx. This gives me more control. If something goes wrong with X you are screwed if you don't have an easily accessible TTY to diagnose the problem. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. -- Anthony Campbell http://www.acampbell.uk
