BTW in response to your statement that you think xmodmap only gets run when xdm is used, I mentioned in previous posts that the xmodmap command is being issued from xinitrc-common as far as I can tell because I wrapped the statement where xmodmap runs ~/.Xmodmap and the two statements wrapping the 'xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap' statement both are run. For example, I changed the code in xinitrc-common to something like: touch /root/something xmodmap <user's home dir>/.Xmodmap touch /root/something2 then I come into /root and see the two files. __________________________________ Yahoo!
