Thank you for your help, but no, unfortunately it doesn't help. When
I installed Mandrake I also installed AfterStep, and it worked just fine.
The problem is that I stupidly tried to upgrade AfterStep to a later
version. What happened then was that AfterStep stopped working altogether,
and when I asked the AfterStep people about this, they told me that I
needed to install some additional packages. So you see the packages needed
to run the version of AfterStep included on the Mandrake CD are not enough.
That does not mean that the packages I need are not included on that CD
though -- they may well be -- it just means that I don't know how to go
about to find them.
