I see, so instead of going around and calling .xinitrc from .bash_profile |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
why not call startxfce4 directly from .bash_profile |
| 16 |

Instead of: |

if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec startx; fi |
| 19 |
|

start as: |

if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec startxfce4; fi |
| 22 |
