I did see your answer, and it worked!  Thanks very much.

I now have a very simple .startxwinrc.  I noticed the default one does a lot of stuff.  Should I try to include it or copy from it?  Is it getting sourced automatically anyway?  It looked as if the system startxwinrc sources the user .startxwinrc, hence my thought that it might be running anyway.

Ross

Sorry, no can do with the gmane ML gateway I'm using.  Hope you see this on
the mailing list.

You appear to have at least one CR character in your .startxwinrc file.  Use
d2u on the file to get rid of it/them.  If that alone doesn't fix your
issue, you may need to add 'xset fp rehash' after the existing 'xset'
command.  Be sure not to add more CR chars if you edit the file again :-) .
