From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031027 Description of problem: switchdesk produces a file in your home directory named .Xclients-masta1.don:1.0 and an .Xclients file that that looks for ~/.Xclients-$HOSTAME$DISPLAY which on my system expands to .Xclients-masta1.don:1 Since the file doesn't exits, it fails the if [ -e ] and .Xclients defaults to ~/.Xclients-default, which doesn't exist either. Kaboom! Rename Xclients-masta1.don:1.0 to Xclients-masta1.don:1 and everything works. BTW, I did this on Alt-F8, using startx -- :1, with Alt-F7 already running an X session. I ran switchdesk-gnome and chose "for the current display only" and saved. When I tried regular old startx again with no X display running, it crashed because there was (correctly) no Xclients-masta1.don:0 file and because (incorrectly?) there was no .Xclients-default. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): switchdesk-3.9.8-18 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above 2. 3. Additional info:
