Ah, perhaps. There may be ways to catch that, but it may be easier for the
OP to copy the startxwinrc file's contents. Not the best for responding to
future changes ...
One way to prevent recursion is
if [[ "$FILEINCLUDED" != "1" ]];
then
export FILEINCLUDED=1
... # do real job here
fi
However, placing this either into the systemwide startxwinrc or into the
local .startxwinrc would not do anything useful.
The right thing to do would be to append a call to
$HOME/.startxwinrc_final (this name is freshly invented, feel free to
change) at the end of the systemwide startxwinrc. An alternative would
be to call $HOME/.startxwinrc_final from the same place from where the
systemwide startxwinrc is called; namely right after it.
Anyone feeling of doing this?
Thanks!
