Hello, I want to start one application after logging in from GDM, and nothing else - I don't want any of the normal desktop environment. I've been testing with a few different apps, such as gnome-terminal, but so far my attempts have failed. I'm getting an error that says "no profile for user test found", and then I get logged out again. What I've done so far is create a .xsession file, changed the permissions to 700, and added the following to the file: exec gnome-terminal & I know that won't give me any gnome settings, etc., but I'm just playing around at the moment. All I want to do for now is get gnome-terminal started. Thanks, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 i686 GNU/Linux 16:47:11 up 3 days, 1:42, 3 users, load average: 0.58, 0.44, 0.29
