Yes, you do have to run the window manager explicitly if you use an .xsession file. You can have your .xsession use /etc/X11/window-managers, though. Just place this at the bottom of your .xsession (code shamelessly ripped from /etc/X11/Xsession) #### Start code #### if [ -e /etc/X11/window-managers ]; then for i in `sed 's/#.*//' /etc/X11/window-managers`; do if [ -x $i ]; then realstartup=$i break fi done elif [ -x /usr/bin/x-window-manager ]; then realstartup=x-window-manager fi if [ -z "$realstartup" ]; then if [ -x /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator ]; then realstartup=x-terminal-emulator else # fatal error exec > /dev/tty echo -n ".xsession: unable to start X session: " echo "no window managers, and no terminal emulators found." exit 1 fi fi exec $realstartup ##### End code ##### - -- finger for PGP public key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN+PMp77M/9WKZLW5AQGR8gQAgDGkGA7kIA9WmQMeoGIUhYQd+PL5wSlV MtkOxMXOJ9PqN9G3rzSmgC0ZqdlwcR/pyL18+lyq9J5DMbWg0bz7l4Pm0UMV6wrc Q95ZJikSqFwyokjLduGb2r+y0Xv8KmJ7rbpJ/tdIeKk3hV3L0lWWy4WGO60UaAvg 4XVYFq8SPzc= =WVyF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
