I'm trying to start icewm on a second console w/ the command startx -icewm --:1 and I'm met with the following error: waiting for X server to shutdown FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing. and then I'm returned to the prompt. If I just do startx -- :1, I on the second console, I get a second instance of X running the default WM, but I'd really like to run the lighter WM on the second console. Can anyone shed lite on this error and how to resolve? TIA Paul

Not a *fix* but a possible work-around/cludge: from a command-line 1. X :1& 2. xterm -display :1& 3. <ctrl><alt><f8> **to get to the new X display :1** 4. in the xterm window: icewm -display :1& -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

Not sure if that is a difference, but I asume you want to run icewm and not -icewm I would run with `startx icewm --:1` (Note the absence of '-') And also Do not take this as a flame.
