I had previously writen that this worked, although with a slight different syntax. That was incorrect. I just happened to have changed the .xinitrc to the same manager that I typed on the command line to set the variable, but had forgotten. Once I tried with a different one it didn't work. After looking at the scritps it was kind of obvious this would not work. So far changing the .xinitrc, using a case statement to prompt or using differnt "startxxx" scripts are the viable options. I think I will go with creating separate start scripts. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
