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?
I *think* wmaker. I don't fully understand x and xservers, having been pretty much a cli luddite till now. Endeavouring to learn. Thanks, Jen.

Try looking in /etc/X11 or /etc/X11R6 (or something like that - I'm at work so I can't get on my system to check) for the global xsession or xinitrc file.
I've been round this loop myself but can't, for the life of me, remember! (which is REALLY useful information! - not). Somewhere there's the config file that starts the single xterm session, that's the one you want.
