Re: Re: xset command setting not sticking

You should be able to make this work for any session selected in gdm
(or other display manager), and for sessions started with startx.

Unnecessary.

Move that line to .xsessionrc (along with anything else you want to
start in every X session).

That should be the only active line in .xsession

Unnecessary, because .xsession and .xsessionrc are sourced, not
executed.

Now you should be able to use any client in GDM.
But please note I don't have gdm installed to test this; I use wdm.
