I figured it out, and of course it was not Xmonad. which I was pretty sure of. I'm not sure how it was working at all. I had the wrong path in the wrong file. It was one of the many things that I had done while fixing numerous other problems in getting Xmonad to compile and work again. There were just to many things going wrong and I broke the xsession while I was fixing everything else. Sorry to bother the list. Eric
