aOK, this is helpful, but my sitation is slightly different. In addition to
puting this here, which I assume will control the "main" X sesion, I invole
a 2nd dedicated X session for teh Virtulbox user. I have a script in
/etc/init.d that, among other things does "/usr/bin/startx -- :1 vt9".
That's one of the reasons I initialy wnated to set this up in the X config
file, as it would have been global to all X sessions started on this
machine.

However, I supose I should do this "the Ubuntu way" {-). So, given that,
will this one location control all X sessions?
