shouldnt this be listed as an 'enhancement' ? the prefered way of starting X sessions in gentoo seems to be /etc/init.d/xdm ... and that is controlled via /etc/rc.conf basically you start either xdm/kdm/gdm and from there choose your wm spanKY: i strongly disagree with you. this is not an enhancement request, it is a bug report: everyone should be free to start X whenever and however they like most (i usually use console for programming), without getting limited by a "start it at login (xdm/gdm/kdm) or never"; if you like graphical login use it, but please do not try to force others to have it as the default. furthermore, starting X from the console is a commonplace in a lot of distro and X itself, AFAIK, doesn't come with the nedd to be started only from xdm. finally, i say this is properly a bug since in all the other distros i reviewed/used, starting X with "startx" work as expected. Our current startkde has #!/bin/sh (without --login). I put 'startkde' in my .xinitrc, and startx started kde without problems. |
