Overview of the Graphical Environment

The .startxrc file

The startx runtime configuration file specifies the clients that the X server should automatically run when a Graphical Environment session is started.

The system-wide version of this file is named sys.startxrc and is located in /usr/lib/X11. The user's version of this file is $HOME/.startxrc.

The .startxrc file is not placed in a user's home directory by default. If you want your own personal copy of this file, copy it from the system-wide file and rename it appropriately.

Because the Graphical Environment uses the scosession client to manage all user sessions, scosession is the only client that is invoked by the default system sys.startxrc file. See ``Customizing startup of the Graphical Environment'', for more information on this configuration file.


NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you use the scosession client to configure the clients you want to run during a Graphical Environment session, instead of modifying the .startxrc file. The scosession client is responsible for starting all of the X daemon processes. For more information, see ``Customizing startup of the Graphical Environment''.
