Yeah, this little "feature" happens to me, too.  I don't know what Xwrapper
is either, but TurboLinux 1.0 didn't do this and I kind of wish 1.2/1.4J
didn't, either (hint for any developers who might be reading this :-)   ).

Xconfigurator.  Speaking of which, I put a new video card in my Linux box
the other day (Diamond Viper 330.  Rocks.  Kind of a waste for someone who
doesn't play games, maybe, but it's nice :-)   ).  I ran Xconfigurator,
which interestingly failed to auto-detect the card, so I chose it manually
from the list, set up my screen sizes and color depths, and told it I wanted
it to start with a graphical log-in (i.e., bring up X automatically).  Well,
it's not that I really want that (I don't), but it's the only workaround I
know to logging in as root to start X if it's not automatic (the above
Xwrapper problem).  But it's not starting X automatically even though I told
it to, so I'm still stuck logging in as root to start X.   How can I fix
this?

Thanks,

Jonathan
