startx-errors: Where is the log file?
After apt installed some packages during upgrade to slink-proposed-upgrades, my xwindows wouldn't work. I changed .xinitrc to remove all references to gnome, but it did not work. I suspect it has something to do with installing a newer version of icewm. But even after installing wmaker and removing references to icewm in my .xinitrc, I could not get it working. Then I installed xdm and it did get xwindows to work using icewm, but no gnome and it ignores .xsession as well as my icewm-configuration (eg. it shows only 1 workspace). I am not sure which packages apt-get installed. I remember seeing something like fnlib and imlib packages as well as icewm-gnome. Is there a way to downgrade to get my previous configuration back? Where can I see the reason for startx's failure? .xsession-errors was not updated. I do not like xdm. I seems to ignore every configuration file I have in my home directory. I would like to get rid of it.
