Put in the commands you want to run in this file. This way you can have a bunch of applications automatically started each time, configure your screen saver, set your root backdrop, etc. "man xinit" for the details. If you login via xdm (the graphical login), then those commands should go in a file called .xsession in your home directory. "man xdm" for the details. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
