ROX-Session takes the place of the xinitrc script. It starts openbox (to decorate windows) and the filer (for the pinboard and panel). The advantages of using ROX-Session over the script are: - If the window manager crashes, you can restart it. - If the filer crashes you can restart it. - You can set lots of options (fonts, mouse, etc). -- Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net ta...@ec... ta...@us...
