I didn't have an .xinitrc, so I copied the one from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to my home directory, and added the line as follows: +--------------------------------+ #!/bin/sh ## comments snipped ## . /etc/X11/Xsession consolechars -f Uni3-Terminus14 +--------------------------------+ However, this doesn't seem to have changed anything - I logged out of x, back in, and then out again, and the problem remains. Thanks, Tyler
I just checked my KDE environment and it doesn't use .xinitrc either. Sigh ;( I do know that .xinitrc is used by the base X11 environment, with the 'xinit' program, which can be used to start additional X servers on other virtual terminals. But, not for starting the first X server from a login manager (KDM, GDM, etc., also known as Display Managers).
For KDE specifically, there is a program called 'startkde' which has a man page that mentions "At the end of a session, the scripts found in ~/.kde/shutdown will be executed."
I expect there's a way to have the same happen for a Gnome environment but I don't have any expertise with it.
Sorry for the confusion. -- Bob McGowan
