But I did experiment around quite a bit, and nothing would work together with gdm as much as nothing would work with xdm. I'll just wait until Branden gets it fixed. Until then, `exec startx` on the console will do. I am happily available for debugging information... -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck scientists will study your brain to learn more about your distant cousin, man.
