Hi, I am using fluxbox and normally use 'startx' to run it. 'startx' can of course run '.xinitrc' in $HOME. However this takes a few extra steps to enter graphic interface. I am thinking of using kdm's auto login feature together with fluxbox. But kdm don't run '.xinitrc' and thus some environment settings and a few auto run programmes can't be started. My question is there anyway to make kdm use '.xinitrc' like startx does? regards, bxuef
