During my tweaking of XFCE I discovered that the Compose key that I had set to the left Windows key in Gnome was not working. I asked on the XFCE forums and a kind fellow said to use: setxkbmap -option compose:lwin I did so and it worked. Then I asked how to make it permanent and he said to put the command into .xinitrc. I replied that I did not have such a file and asked if I should just create it. He responded that it would be fine to do so, so I made the file and put the command in it. It was after doing this that I logged out and discovered that XFCE was no longer a login option. So just now I renamed the .xinitrc file to .xinitrc_old, logged out and logged back in again. But I still don't have an XFCE login option. I still bet the .xinitrc file is the source of the problem, but it must have done something else as well. Or maybe I need to add a line pointing to startxfce4. But I want the login screen to give me all three DE options that I have installed - Gnome, KDE and XFCE. Also, where is startxfce4? How do I point to it? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
