I am beginning to think that for some obscure reason the fvwm2 is not started. I know for sure that my .xinitrc file is being read because the xterms and the xclock referenced are started when X is started. The command that starts fvwm2 has the format: exec fvwm2 but when I searched the system for the "exec" command it came up blank. It seems as if there in no "exec" command on my system which is rather strange. Might this be the problem? Thanks in advance for any pointers. -Nesi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
