I doubt very much that this is the correct command for starting MATE. Unfortunately, I am not a MATE user, so I don't know what the correct command *is*. But this doesn't look like it'll be the one. Have you considered using my suggestion? Put these two lines in .xsession: . /etc/X11/Xsession pkill unison Keep your .xsessionrc which starts the unison program. (Or you could move it here, later, but for now I'm simply trying to do the bare minimum needed to achieve a working setup.) > Started with "exec" according to Debian documentation: > https://wiki.debian.org/Xsession You're cargo-culting stuff with zero understanding. That's not going to help. If you don't know how shell scripts work, if you don't know what the "exec" command does... then this is going to be quite difficult for you.
