If they don't, # fall back to system defaults. if [ -f $HOME/.startxwinrc ] ; then exec $CK_XINIT_SESSION $SSH_AGENT $HOME/.startxwinrc || \ exec $CK_XINIT_SESSION $SSH_AGENT $HOME/.startxwinrc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If I'm reading /usr/bin/startxwin correctly, /etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc only gets run if $HOME/.startxwinrc doesn't exist or exists but is not executable. So the $SSH_AGENT command above only gets called in the latter case; but then it will fail because $HOME/.startxwinrc is not executable. Am I missing something?
