Hi Luke, Simply copy root's .xinitrc file to your user's home directory like so: cp /root/.xinitrc ~username/ You'll have to be root to do the copy operation. If you want every user you create to get this file, also copy it to /usr/share/skel Cheers, Dru On Sun, 25 Mar 2001, Luke Kearney wrote: > Hi There, > I am having a little trouble changing my default desktop.
