Is there a) a cleaner way of doing this? something that didn`t require hacking of scripts is much easier to document.
Well, you can use YAST, if you're using SuSE. That just sets and exports (at init) the WINDOWMANAGER environment variable. This is great if you want a provide a default for those users that do not define their own X11 startup file.
b) what am I likely to have editied? I thought it was //etc/X11/xdm/Xsession, but that didn`t "look" right.
Well, it is certainly one file that plays its part in starting X11. I did document this, which you can read about [1]. What's generally done is that users define either a ~/.xinitrc file, or a ~/.xsession file. Again, that's explained here [2]. -- Thomas Adam [1] http://linuxgazette.net/105/tag/2.html [2] http://www.hants.lug.org.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LinuxHints/StartX ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?
