Yes, I was wrong. The user account which starts the X session makes no difference. All problems are in the fonts used (in particular with font "10x20"). On my host, normal users have a different '~/.Xresource' that users `root' and `admin' so why they have a different behavior. Moreover, xfs for alpha dies without any error message. I've tried it on AlphaSserve 400 and AlphaServe DS10. With a font server on a Debian-i386 machine everything works fine. Thank you very much for the hints! Marco
