I know about xdm & xwrapper, but I hate to admit I guess I'm just not knowledgable enough to get them to work right. I've rtfm a lot & experimented around with all the config files, but so far, no luck on that issue. I have 4.3 stable on an old Toshiba 4015CDTlaptop. I've avoided cvsup since it always seemed to break things too, so it's pretty much a stock system. Incidentally, what is it that breaks X for users? Does it have anything to do with root using X? I notice that every time it's about ready to happen, things will start messing up, like a user won't be able to maintain buttons, menu stuff, desktop cfg, etc, from 1 xsession to another. Thanks for all help. Never eat more than you can lift.
