logging out and back in may as well be a reboot. I normally run with quite a few apps I have to restart, and rebuild my network to up to 9 other machines, up to 9 ssh -Y shells, (allthough the -Y doesn't work any more which severely limits the editors I can use, a bigger pita than this in fact.) and 6 or more links for mc to copy things around. Yes, its a pita. Done if needed of course.

The .xsessionrc file is only read during X session startup, not when running various applications like terminal emulators. (Yes, I know, it's a PAIN to log out and back in, at least for me, and it sounded like for you too... but it's required for this test to be meaningful. It's not urgent, so you can do it when it's convenient.) .
Take care & stay well. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
