I have set up a script which runs executor full screen without a window manager. If executor is likely to be the only thing your wife uses under X, you could create a script called 'executorx' which is something like: #!/bin/sh xinit $HOME/.executorrc and then your wife's home directory has a file .executorrc which on my machine is: #!/bin/sh xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults exec executor -privatecmap -nosplash -size 1280x960 -geometry +0+0 Where you set -size to the size your X server is going to be running at (1024x768 in your case). This works very well, since you can use a private colour map and not notice the horrible colour flashes. This makes executor much faster, especially for graphics work. Tim.
