Does anyone know of/or have a replacement program for the DECwindows session manager???? I hate the Ultrix4.0 version and I never had a use for it in the past anyway. What I would like is to have it run the dxwm window manager and then exec the stuff in my ~/.X11Startup file. That's it. The Ultrix4.0 version is continualy running and uses too much memmory. I know this is a bug(the running constantly part), but I want to do a way with dxsession anyway, even if it was fixed. The replacement doesn't have to be anything fancy. It can be a shell script even, but I've tried that and can't seem to get it to work, but maybe someone else has. I'm running a DECstation3100 with a beta test version of Ultrix4.0, UWS2.4, but I bet a version for Ultrix3.x UWS2.0 would work. Thanks in advance, -franco PS. Please respond via email, I'm too busy to read the newsgroup. Thanks!!! ################################### ### ######### ##################### # Frank A.

I found the session manager to be cumbersome, (I find most 'browser' type apps to get in the way), and asked one of the DEC support people about it. He pointed me to a very handy utility call 'xsh'. This lives in '/usr/demo/dwt'. This allows you to run the DEC window manager, and still have straight-forward access to an 'application starter'. Doug Klein Network Computing Devices
