You should just simply choose the Xfce session from your display manager and it will remember thats what you choose. So, if you are using gnome and gdm, select your user, then click on the little session thing and choose Xfce and enter your password and login. Then next time you choose your user it will default to that. kevin _______________________________________________ xfce mailing list xfce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce
