Hello, I'm running gnome-session and WindowMaker, I am trying to get Gnome-session to load my '~/.Xclients' file. It did for a while but after upgrading potato to the most recent potato it quite working. Here is what I did to get all of this working before. I've changed my '/etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome' to include (line numbers added for clarity): 95: usrclients=$HOME/.Xclients 126: if haveoption allow-user-clients; then 127: if [ -f $usrclients ]; then 128: source $usrclients 129: fi 130: fi My '/etc/X11/Xsession.options looks like: allow-failsafe allow-user-modmap allow-user-resources allow-user-clients allow-user-xsession use-ssh-agent Here is my '~/.Xclients': #!/bin/bash echo "Beginning to load .Xclients" > ~/.xlog xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults & xrdb -merge ~/.Xauthority & xhost +localhost & xhost +mustang & echo "Finished loading .Xclients" > ~/.xlog Here is the permissions on it (I changed them to 777 just to see if that helped, otherwise I wouldn't give anyone permission to execute something of mine!): 1 -rwxrwxrwx 1 rbf rbf 196 May 14 08:38 .Xclients I am lost as to why it worked for a while then all of a suddent not. There are no errors in any '~/.X*' or '~/.x*' files. When I add "exec" to the beginning of every command in my '~/.Xclients' I cannot login. It ends up back at the gdm login screen. If I remove them (as in the example above) I can log in but it doesn't execute the commands. If I add "exec" to my '/etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome' on line 128 it also fails to login and I end up back at gdm. Any ideas?
