Re: [PLUG] Setting nice(1) for X(7) under Redhat 7.2


Grrr.  Once again RH does stuff that's non-standard.  Xwrapper was a
XFree86 3.3.x security feature.  RH has extended it (and it sounds like
modified it), shipping it with 4.x versions.  XFree86 does _not_ include
this with 4.x.

Maybe you want to try modifying the startx script?
