Re: about this startx problem
Does ~./xsession behave differently for startx and xdm ?. because i never
had a problem login in
as user via xdm and if ~./xsession was holding startx up i would have
thought the same would happen in xdm.
Im aware of how to run stuff through ~./xsession ( i think :)
i have
/usr/local/bin/chbg & ( background changer )
enlightenment
in ~./xsession
unfortunately ( or fortunately ) the problem has since resolved itself. An
upgrade or change i made i guess.
thanx for the feedback all the same
cheers
