Re: XWin won't run xterm on start


Ah, perhaps.  There may be ways to catch that, but it may be easier for the
OP to copy the startxwinrc file's contents.  Not the best for responding to
future changes ...

One way to prevent recursion is

if [[ "$FILEINCLUDED" != "1" ]];
then
  export FILEINCLUDED=1
  ...  # do real job here
fi

However, placing this either into the systemwide startxwinrc or into the local .startxwinrc would not do anything useful.

The right thing to do would be to append a call to $HOME/.startxwinrc_final (this name is freshly invented, feel free to change) at the end of the systemwide startxwinrc. An alternative would be to call $HOME/.startxwinrc_final from the same place from where the systemwide startxwinrc is called; namely right after it.

Anyone feeling of doing this?

Thanks!
