Sorry, I've found where you meant. I think I have a lot of overscan
and the bottom of the screen was hidden. So now I can pick a new
session but whatever I pick I just end up an a screen with a blue
"bubbly" fedora background. You say I don't need to worry about where
the scripts are, but if that's the case how do I tell X to run
mythwelcome, xscreensaver etc? If it's not in .xsession any more,
where is it?
