type startx

I use a file .xinitrc to control other stuff.

Code:

# Duron 950 box "uilleann" user fancy .xinitrc file
# Start the stuff I want to run when I startx

# The artwiz-fonts sometimes conflict with your locale settings. To get
# them to work you may have to put the following at the beginning of your
# .xinitrc file
# export LC=C
# export LC_ALL=C
# Esetroot ~/backgrounds/linux.png &
# Start gkrellm and put it in the slit
gkrellm -w &
# This will run a screensaver as your background
# /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/hopalong -root &
# Start the screensaver daemon
xscreensaver &
# Finally, I start my window manager
exec fluxbox
# exec kde
# exec gnome-session
