This is the clean way to work. In the end effect, the server /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 will be run (at least for 4.x.x - for 3.3.3 it will be a different server for different video cards) the symlink could go directly to the server (it does in my distribution). However, going directly to the server is a security hole, this is why making the detour through XWrapper is cleaner... Lionel
