the ~/.Xdefaults-`hostname` solution works real well for me, I do something like that anyway for various rc files in NFS. man xrdb, and a the paragraphs above XENVIRONMENT, are useful to see what's going on. but I'm now quite partial to ~/.Xdefaults-`hostname` Thanks, // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator <IXOYE>< http://galis.org/ cell:646-331-2027 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
