Check out /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xsession which is the beast which kicks off the .xsession. I've used an extra check at the end of the file: global_startup=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc startup=$HOME/.xsession resources=$HOME/.Xresources if [ -f "$startup" ]; then exec "$startup" if if [-f "$global_startup"]; then exec "$startup" fi if [ -f "$resources" ]; then xrdb -load "$resources" fi > So, it would appear to be a problem with Mozilla, but I can't figure out > why it works when I start the application via an xterm? You may (not) pick up a .Xmodmap; see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc which you do not pick up with an ~/.xsession (for xdm) or ~/.xinitrc (for startx) start method.
