Well, I mostly wanted to make the stuff work, then sort out which piece was |
20 |
which. |
21 |
I have only 3 kinds of login: consoles (Ctl-Alt-F1, etc), ssh logins, and |
22 |
window manager |
23 |
logins. For the window manager, I imagine I'm stuck with tweaking |
24 |
/etc/profile, or some |
25 |
such, depending on the shell (always bash on this machine). |
26 |
|
27 |
It just seemed perverse that the one way I found to make them work also |
28 |
makes something |
29 |
emit error messages. Grrrrrrr. |
