Hello, I want to prevent "dxterm" from auto-starting at login. This is not starting from .Xdefaults file. Can somebody tell me where it is starting from. I want to stop it from executing on this really slow machine I have and start "xterm" instead. Thanks. -- sudha sudha@kbesrl.me.uiuc.edu

Somewhere in your .Xdefaults file, there is probably a line like this: sm.create_terminal: 1 This should be changed to sm.create_terminal: 0 If you don't have such a line, then add one (with the zero value). To start up xterm at login time, create a file named .X11Startup (if you don't have one already) and place the following line in it: xterm & -Shawn Mamros E-mail to: mamros@crl.dec.com Disclaimer: All blame for this note is mine, not my employer's...

While we're on the subject, if you want to use xterm (or any other program) as the default terminal emulator, add a line like the following to your .Xdefaults: sm.terminalEmulatorName: /usr/bin/X11/xterm -ls (The -ls stands for "login shell." Your .login or .profile is read, and your initial directory is set to your home.) Frank
