By making your own ~/.xinitrc file, you're missing out on all the setup steps that are taken in the system xinitrc.
Jeremy, I have on my system .xinitrc.d/90-kde.sh . /sw/bin/init.sh export KDEWM=quartz-wm exec /sw/bin/startkde &> /tmp/kde.log but, it does not start kde - you can't even start any kde program within a terminal, if I use my old .xinitrc - it does load the kde manager and all kde programs are running in a terminal. . /sw/bin/init.sh export KDEWM=quartz-wm /sw/bin/startkde>/tmp/kde.log 2>&1 any idea? both files have the same rights and ownership (644) ciao christof -- public key www.hfph.mwn.de/~chwolf/chwolf.asc Please respect my privacy and do not make my contact information available to third parties.

It needs to be executable. The code in /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/98-user.sh checks for that explicitly. - Harald
