I just looked at the man pages for gdb. It states (if I am not mistaken) that it is customary to use gdb with a specific application. In my case, wouldn't I want to type 'gdb /usr/X11R6/bin/blackbox' [some other options?] before I start X? Also, what does 'unlimit -c unlimited' do? I obviously know how to type in the path to blackbox after it has crashed. But how do I type in the path to the "core"? Again, don't I need to set the file of the core when before I start X? (gdg -c=/home/paul/xlog)? Paul (It is 12:39, and I am about to download the tar for blackbox .) -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *[EMAIL PROTECTED]* ************************
