The trick here is to use make use of /etc/X11/xsession.d as described in the Xsession(5) man page Create a file in this directory which sets up the required environment. the name of the file determines how/when it is run so make sure it follows the format described. Blow is the link i made to my /etc/profile which allows it to run every time i log in regardless of which WM i choose. blake@raider:~$ ls -l /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2004-09-21 21:07 /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_profile -> /etc/profile HTH Cheers Blake Swadling Senior Software Engineer Newton Pty Ltd Telephone: +61 2 6247 3544 Fax: +61 2 6247 3533 Mobile: +61 407 026277 Web: http://www.newton.com.au
