One of the reasons I stopped using xdaliclock, although Kurt's suggestion has some merit. BTW, David, XFCE4 has no session manager (yet), and it will probably be optional when they do provide one, since everything on XFCE4 is quite modular. Then, again, some people have an aversion to GTK2. YMMV. Since I don't have a system that is continuously booted, I love the restart feature, so that I don't have to open every program again on every desktop. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area gentoo 1.4 system _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
