Here is what showed up in the .xsession-errors file: ############ Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server BaseDisplay::BaseDisplay: connection to X server failed. ############ The TMPDIR info that you mentioned never showed up in the /tmp directory. I also tried copying Xsession (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/ Xsession) to .xsession, adding the window manager statements on the root directory. That didn't work either. PS - Blackbox is just another window manager. >On Thu, May 11, 2000 at 06:55:16PM +0000, Kevin wrote: >> Let me rephrase this.
