#!/bin/sh # The X session file, in this case $HOME/.xsession, is a shell script that # contains a list of things to do (programs to run and so forth) every time # X starts for a particular user. It allows you to personalize your X # environment and get down to business (or play) faster. If there are # things you want done every time you start X (or log into a machine using # XDM), rather than doing them by hand every time by running commands from # a terminal window, you can place them here, in the .xsession file, and # they will be run automatically, every time. # There are essentially three types of commands in an .xsession file; we # usually fire up some persistent X clients, like xterms, a clock, a biff # program of some sort, etc., which we expect to stick around more or less # for the duration of our X session. These commands will need to be # backgrounded, or "amped off", otherwise your X session will "stay" on # that command until it exits. The second type of command is relatively # instantaneous in effect, or we *desire* the X sesson to stop until that # command exits -- we don't background those. Finally, at the end of our # .xsession file we generally "exec" a window manager. That replaces the # running .xsession shell script with the window manager process, and when # the window manager exits, the X session is over (the user returns to the # virtual console or the XDM login screen). imwheel -k #exec xli -onroot ~/.Backgrounds/Dray.jpg #exec ~/bin/background.tcl Esetroot ~/.Backgrounds/LinuxGNU.jpg #xterm -e ~/bin/ponm & xsetroot -cursor_name top_left_arrow larsclock & movemouse -x 512 -y 780 # Now execute the window manager and we'll be on our way.
