Some of these errors look benign, but if your windows have no decorations (title bar, etc.), I'll bet twm is crashing. From one of my earlier posts (based on help I got when I ran into similar problems): >XDarwin (once you have it installed correctly) may fail to launch correctly. The fink >FAQ has an entry about this (if you can select XDarwin's Preferences, specify an >explicit keymap file; if not, the FAQ suggests other ways to handle this). > >Also, consider downloading and installing the OroborOSX window manager (thanks to >Alexander Hanse for suggesting it!). Get it from ><http://wrench.et.ic.ac.uk:80/adrian/software/oroborosx/>. It's a better window >manager for OS X than twm. Also, twm crashes for some of us (including me). Then to >run your X server, simply run OroborOSX, and it will launch XDarwin (the xfree86 >server). This obvious catches a lot of people. Anybody have a suggestion of how to get it into the FAQ (especially the recommendation to install OroborOSX if using Mac OS X?) -- Russell _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
