Not necessarily. .xinitrc is commonly used when you use 'startx' (ie no graphical login manager). .xsession is the default to be executed by most login managers, but each may have their own settings to override that. .Xclients, IIRC, is executed by either the login manager or by 'startx' iff it exists and the other ones failed. None of these files, however, has anything to do with setting the background of the login screen - refer to the manual and documentation of gdm for what files you need to modify for that. > Or haveI misunderstooed something important here...? You may have to clarify how this has anything to do with blackbox. A search on google regarding xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm, xinitrc, xsession etc. probably wouldn't hurt, either. Unless, of course, you want to set the background for your blackbox theme, in which case you probably should read the blackbox FAQ. -Jan -- "The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
