SOLVED: Re: ~/.xsession causes X to restart (infinite loop)

[Xucaen <xucaen@yahoo.com>]

Hi all..
thanks foir all your help, because of you I
figured it out.

for some reason, fvwm starts automatically (I
haven't figured out why)
and when I created my .xsession, fvwm no longer
loaded, so I had to load it myself from my
.xsession script.
so now my last line of my .xsession is:
exec fvwm &
and all is well.  :-)

does anyone know why creating .xsession causes
fvwm to NOT load anymore? I'd really like to know
why

thanks again!!
