You have the option of disabling the automatic initialization of this by setting a resource in the /.Xdefaults file as shown below: XSessionManager*initializeDPS: False Keep in mind that this will make programs which use the DPS extension potentially start slower, as well as not necessarily have the environment (such as colors) that it may desire. - Marc ========================================================================== Marc Evans - WB1GRH - evans@decvax.DEC.COM | Synergytics (603)893-8481 Unix/X-window Software Contractor | 3 Koper Ln, Pelham, NH 03076 ==========================================================================
