Cheerfully trying to edit a new file, I got into the help minibuffer to find out an Xemacs command. I tried loading a file, and got an error message. I moved to the *scratch* buffer, but that turned out to be the help minibuffer also. I then kept deleting buffers until Xemacs died, with a core dump. It asked me to use gdb on the core and email the output to the bug-fixers. Because I had a text file called 'core' at one stage, I ran vi on it figuring if it was a real core file I'd just see a whole lot of gibberish. However vi died, and the xterm became unusable. After that, vi died once incepted thereafter.
I tried rebooting the system, and startx resulted in the normal windows and programs (just two xterms and swisswatch) but with white borders and no Fvwm widgets. Moving the mouse changes the focus, but the mouse buttons no longer function, consquently I can't move the windows or get the Fvwm menu up to quit the program. Killing it with 'kill' resulted in being unable to restart X, so I rebooted again. I found X, Fvwm and vi work fine with root. Aha! I thought. I'll just add another user and use that until I get things fixed. However the new user had the same problems as my orginal user id. What do I do now?
