This looks like a secondary problem. But what does % ls -la ~/.Xauthority report? It should belong to your user and have rw/-/- mode. > Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you. I assume you're starting X with "startx", so it uses a .xinitrc, right? In this case, replace the call to Xfce (the last "exec" line) with exec xterm Now your X session will start with nothing but an X terminal. In this terminal, manually enter the command which you use to start Xfce (check .xinitrc when in doubt). In case you're using a display manager, apply .xsession instead of .xinitrc in the steps mentioned above. Is there anything "non-standard" about your X setup? Anything in .xsession-errors? In worst case, just remove and re-install the Xfce-related ports. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
