I tried this setting DEFAULT_WM="xfce in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager but the system would start X, and just load a mousepointer and stop - no icons or anything on the screen The XFCE documentaion seemed to suggust setting the manager to xfwm4 - but this did the same thing. - started X but no icons. Read the documentation further and created an .xinit.rc file and put the command exec startxfce4 in the file. This works Gord -- Gordon J.
