I'm not sure if I can ask this question properly but here goes.....
I run 2.1.0R and Xfree86, with a custom .xinitrc file in each users
/home directory, is there a way I could start xdm with the login
screen, and then according to whatever user logs on to the machine,
run the .xinitrc file in his or her home directory?
any ideas would be totally appreciated.....
