The .xinitrc file: xrdb xsetroot -solid gray & xterm -geometry +0-100 & xconsole -geometry -0+0 -fn 5x7 & #exec olvwm #complained about a missing font exec fvwm I have also tried twm. This file was generated from an example in the Handbook. I don't understand why xterm and xconsole are to be started before the window manager.
