Xorg recurring background

[Michael Gmelin]

Oh, so that’s what you meant with “recurring”? Like it permanently?

You can set these kind of things in ~/.xinitrc
(or if you use a session manager, ~/.xsession).

Just add the command in there before starting your window manager,

e.g.

    xmodmap ...
    xsetroot ...
    xterm&
    twm
