.xsession script?

shanenin · 10-26-2004, 12:05 PM

I need a command run when I start X using gdm. I am using the file .xsession to try to accomplish this. Here is what it looks like

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 0

this file is executable

Code:

shane@mainbox shane $ ls -l .xsession
-rwxr-xr-x  1 shane users 47 Oct 26 10:46 .xsession

This script is not getting ran when gdm starts X, am I using this incorrectly?

Try putting it in your .xinitrc file.

I think the .xinitrc file only gets run when you start x using the command startx.

for the .xsession file to be used, I need to choose custom session from GDM's menu.
