Hi all,
I'm writing up some notes about X. I'm currently trying to explain the uses of .xinitrc and .xsession. .xinitrc and .xsession are apparently of identical format and for identical usage, and, apparently, identical in every way that I can tell EXCEPT in the way they are invoked. .xinitrc (and /etc/X11/xinitrc) are invoked using either xinit or startx (which is just a wrapper around xinit). .xsession is invoked when logging in through a session manager such as [gkx]dm. Are there any other differences that anyone else knows of? And why don't startx/xinit and the session managers just use the same config file? Also, what other configuration files are of interest in a user's home directory (esp. on a RH system). Isn't there some silliness RH instituted with something like .Xclients or something? Thanks! -- Seeya, Paul ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
