Is this > normal, and can I force un-install wrapper without breaking anything? Excuse me, I'm a bonehead. You don't need to uninstall wrapper, just change this symbolic link: /usr/X11R6/bin/X@ -> Xwrapper-4 to this: /usr/X11R6/bin/X@ -> XFree86 This *will* break 'startx' for ordinary users. 'Wrapper' is intended to replace xdm and friends to create the .Xauthority in your home directory. If xdm/gdm/kdm don't create the .Xauthority file then something else must do it -- that something else is 'wrapper'. You don't need to use both gdm and wrapper.
