I used xdm once, that was more than enough. gdm and kdm both have options to do this, as did the one whose name I cannot remember that I tried once. Alternatively, you can use the XSESSION environment variable or use the standard .xinitrc/.xsession way of doing things. I'd either do that latter or use a more flexible display manager, I find xdm horrible. --=20 Neil Bothwick Why is it that when you transport something by car it's called shipment, but when you transport it by ship it's called cargo? --Sig_/0tTMcQVI7==HAElafO7e_zh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAksmLh0ACgkQum4al0N1GQM7dQCgsOGiekmnF+aHrW0+3GRVLAS0 e08Amwce6aMe3uBLpBVNkoD0xrzpdfLA =e07W -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/0tTMcQVI7==HAElafO7e_zh--
