Hello Harold, sorry, if my question sounds stupid, but... when i can't use run in a batch why there is "run" used in the startxdmcp.bat? It does the job as requested. But only with "-nodecorations". Why can a window without border and titlebar can be used, but a "normal" window not? I don't want to compare to the old XFree86 (i'm glad about the new project) but once upon a time there where the same problem but was gone long ago. I will try the hint from David Rothenberger with "setsid" (never heared about). Sound's good. The problem is, that when the controlling window ist closed, the whole X-session gets killed. I i know my users: the will close this "unneccessary" window. Am Donnerstag, 8.
