I had set up a profile for my old machine. It was set up under Fedora Linux 12 so that when I logged in, a line in .bash_profile ran dispwin -L, I had of course ran dispwin -I previously. I tried to setup my new machine, running Fedora 14 Linux, in a similar way with the same dot files containing profiles. I ran dispwin -I using what I thought was the most recent profile I had created. (I plan to start from scratch at a later date and make a new profile.) After doing this, dispwin -L worked. But today, after having logged out and rebooted once or twice and shut off the machine to move it, I found that dispwin -L complained about not being able to find what it needed. Also, xprop -root didn't show any installed profile. So I don't understand why previously, the dispwin -L in .bash_profile set the profile, but now on the new machine it doesn't without rerunning dispwin -I. I have the same .color and .local/share/color files on the new machine. Also, the old machine is now attached to another monitor, but xprop -root shows an installed profile despite my not having rerun dispwin -I. Why did it disappear from the new machine? -- Leonard Evens len@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Professor Emeritus, Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University
