Re: xsession file



Hi Bob,

Thanks for you reply, but I have some (maybe very stupid because Debian is quite new to me) questions:

1. I do not have fvwm2 (not found when type fvwm2 --help as root)
2. my default windows manager is gnome, how should it be startkde there?

so far, here is what I can do with .xsession

#!/bin/sh

exec x-window-manager &
exec gnome-session

and it works. But one problem arises: when   I logged in, and if I wanted to log out, it does NOT log out immediately, but after at least five minutes later. Why is that? I guess my .xsession file has problem, but do not know how to fix.

Thanks,

KC.

Use something like this:

  #!/bin/bash --login
  exec fvwm2
  exec startkde
  exec gnome-session
  exec x-session-manager

I have fvwm2 up front because that is what I use.  The first exec that
succeeds overlays the script with the new exec'd process.

Make sure the file is executable.

Bob
