OK, checking ~/.dt/sessionlogs/* files, I tracked the problem to Xfce4 xinitrc file: /opt/pkg/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc Xfce executables were not in the PATH, so it couldn't find them. I had to add the following lines to this file, plus some other fixes to get it working: #!/bin/sh XFCE_PROG_PATH=/opt/pkg/bin PATH=$PATH:$XFCE_PROG_PATH export PATH ... I'm gonna file a bug report with NetBSD's pkgsrc and submit a few patches. _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
