What were you trying to do?
Log into an sgi with out having it create stuff in my home directory.
What's wrong:
/mit/kcr/.desktop_indy and /mit/kcr/.desktop-steve-dallas got created.
What should have happened:
It should've noticed that I have a .xsession file and _completely_
overidden the SGI stuff. Or at least provide me with something I can
create in my home directory (.skip_sgi_no_really_i_mean_it?) that lets
me override the SGI stuff. I would prefer not to have my home
directory eaten block by block by things created by the system dotfiles.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I don't know if any of this is documented anywhere. I sort of doubt it.
