Hi guys,

I had a big problem with my laptop earlier in the week and had to re-install
Linux .. I also re-installed XF 4.1.99.

When I log in as an ordinary user and type "startx" I get

"Stdout and/or stderr is a pipe"

and X refuses to start "becuase of unsafe environment"

However, if I type "xinit", everything starts properly.

(If I log in as root, both "startx" and "xinit" work)

It's not a big deal because I can start and run X, but does anybody know
what the error message means and how I can fix it?

Many thanks!!

sjb
