Re: Window Managers

["David Kohel" <kohel@singa.math.nus.sg>]

I just set up and configured xdm (thanks to those who responded 
with advice on shadow passwords, etc.), and by default, xdm 
sources the $HOME/.xsession files, not $HOME/.xinitrc files.  
Actually, by default, my initial setup didn't source any user 
files.  See the /etc/X11/Xsession file (read by xdm) and edit 
/etc/X11/config accordingly.  

My /etc/X11/config file now looks like:

############################################################

xdm-start-server
start-xdm
allow-user-resources
allow-user-modmap
allow-user-xsession

############################################################

There may be some Debian configuration utility for xdm, but 
I just added in the last three lines by hands.
