Hi linux world,

I'm playing with linux again and not knowing much about X-Windows
I ran into trouble. If I start xdm and login as user Xsession
will not run right since USER=root and HOME=/root. The manual says
that xdm !should! set those environment variables propperly but,
unfortunately, it doesn't. Is a friendly linux/X-Windows wizzard out
there who could give me a hint?

Thankx a lot! Have fun with linux and
Greetings from Germany,
