Ehm well I normally run in runlevel three but since I maintain fluxbox I wanted to know more about runlevel 5 so I installed gdm. Anyway it seems rather weird since dm can be on by default. It should be on when you run in 5 and it doesn't matter if you run in 3. Or am I missing something? > > 2) the left flying carpet key is bound to F13.

So it is not a problem it is totally unexpected. I don't see any good reason why it would be so. And I consider it a bug. > > 3) .xsession and .xinitrc seem to be ignored.

But it's bugged elsewhere as well cause it didn't help. Groetjes, Han. -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software
