Hey, "+ I exec xterm -geometry +154+137 &" worked! Now how do I get
rid of
my
initial xterm window that pops up when I first log in? I copied my
/etc/profile
file to ~/.bachrc to get the new xterm window to behave like the
original one
when I first log in. I hope that was the right thing to do. It seems
to be
working.
~$ cat .bashrc
#!/bin/bash
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/local/netscape:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/kent"
export PATH PS1
export PS1='\w\$ '
# Alias list.
alias l="ls -alF"
alias sh="shutdown -h now"
alias sr="shutdown -r now"
alias n=" netscape -geometry =752x571+76+0 &"
alias x="xterm -geometry =80x24+194+142 &"
umask 002
I thought about putting a "#" in front of the xterm line in
/etc/X11/Xsession
to
kill that first xterm but my instinct tells me I shouldn't do it to this
file.
Where does the default configuration come from? I have looked through
most of
the fvwm2 files and don't seem to be able to locate it.
Thanks,
Kent
