Mumia, At Sun, 08 Oct 2006 13:24:21 -0500 you said, What are you trying to do? Just for interest, I want to understand how startx, via several stages of indirection, starts xfce. I appreciate the various suggestions but none have been completely consistent with the system here. To be convinced, I want to make the pertinent scripts report to a log. I need to know which log to use and how to make a script write to it. Thanks, ... Peter E.
I spent several hours trying to figure out how X starts up in detail. It is horrendously complicated. After determining that I wasn't going to figure it out, I remembered the Debian alternatives system, and I configured that the way I wanted.
More power to you if you can figure out how X starts up; I know I can't. -- paduille.4059.mumia.w@earthlink.net
