If you choose "Default session" from the GDM sessions menu, .xsession should be executed. See the comments in /etc/gdm/Xsession. In this case you can put blackbox at the end of .xsession so that it gets started as well. > The problem is that when I run a GNOME/GTK+ program in Blackbox, it > uses the ugly default GTK+ theme.

That's the advice commonly given in newsgroups etc. and it works so I wrote this in the wiki. As I figured out now, a .gtkrc-2.0 as written by switch2 suffices for GTK themes and fonts. All the other things you can configure in the Gnome control center, menu and toolbar style and so on, require gnome-settings-daemon to be actually applied and maintained (i.e. not stored). So starting it is convenient, at least when you use Gnome compilant apps and care about some settings besides the GTK theme. (gnome-theme-manager starts it along with itsef.) Note: Some Linux distributions put gnome-settings-daemon in /usr/lib instead of /usr/bin so it may not be in your $PATH. In this case you'll have to provide the correct path in .xsession - if you plan to use it. Regards, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
