tail -f .xsession-errors will allow you to watch the tail of the file as it grows. ( CTRL-S and CTRL-Q ) allow you to stop and start the flood of text. There will probably be a meaningful message or three in there. /usr/sbin/lsof | grep '.xsession-errors' will also tell you which programs have .xsession-errors open. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell NB.
