For the most part, these are user and application-specific files, somewhat used in the same vein as INI files under Windows. Redhat does have a 'xinitrc' file (without the leading period) -- you could copy that into your home directory, and then edit it, without corrupting the original. The one in /etc/X11/xinit is a sample. >Johan Kjellman -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
