Yes, of course, that's right. But I don't think it has anything to do with whether xclock should be added as a dependency to xinit, just because xclock is mentioned as an example in the xinitrc template. By the way, the template also references quite a lot of other tools (xrdb, xmodmap, xterm, twm). None of them is a dependency of xinit. And rightly so. The contents of the default xinitrc are just an *example*; it's intended to be customized. > OP could probably solve the whole dilemma by doing "touch ~/.xinitrc" Right. I think if someone uses xinit, he should configure his xinitrc appropriately. Is really anybody seriously using twm + xterm + xlock nowadays?!?
