I'd say that it's better to start X clients from the window manager's startup file because the window manager may have rules to place windows and things like that. If an X client is started from the .xsession file, the WM won't have a chance to see it early enough (there may also be race conditions so that the behavior may not be reproducible). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
