startx -- :x

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

It looks like that the command:
startx -- :1
does not works any more.

It was very convenient to open 2 X sessions.

Thank for your help.

Aha, switchdesk seems not know lxde. Then create ~/.Xclients-default
with "WM="startlxde". (I now tried it with "switchdesk xfce" and then
editing ~/.Xclients-default and this work. My "~/.Xclients-default":

#! /bin/bash
# (c) 2000-2004 Red Hat, Inc.

WM="startlxde"
WMPATH="/usr/bin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/bin"

for p in $WMPATH ; do
    [ -x $p/$WM ] && exec $p/$WM
done

exit 1
