Hello! Please tell me if this is a dumb newbie question, and/or i should read the faqs on the subject but,
I am trying to get X to start start some programs when I log in. so I tried to start the programs from the $home/.xinitrc , $home/.xsession , $home/.Xsession etc etc etc,; the result is that i get back at the login prompt. If i then read the .xsession-errors file, it says that it could not find cpp. so i installed the gcc package. now the login prompt has changed, it says something like Debian/linux and then the name of my machine. It used to say: X window system. but it still doesn't launch my programs :-( Does the above mean that the X system depends on cpp??. And how do i get X to launch the programs (like xearth & an extra xterm etc. etc.) ? can someone answer these questions, or refer me to the appropriate Faq's. Thnx in advance... ps. my window manager is fvwm.. if that's any help.
