Hi All, I want blackbox to start automatically when i run startx. I tried putting exec blackbox in various .xsession and .xinitrc files to no avail. So then I found myself trawling about places like /etc/X11/Xsession.d (in debian) looking at how variables are called, all very entertaining but I'm sure there is an easier way. Like "bbconf", except that didn't do anything either. Creating a file called .xsession in my home directory and putting exec blackbox in doesn't help. Help! Nothing helps! Any ideas? Thanks, Jenny.

Are you using Gnome or KDE? (or just the basic XFree86?) and, if so, are you using something like Enlightenment or Sawfish on top of that?

There is a file that goes in your home dir, called .xinitrc which startx will eventually look for and spawn the correct window manager. You can point your browser to a version to look at (www.nepenthes.demon.co.uk/.xinitrc)
This should help
