Hello,
I am having a similar problem logging in while running xdm. No matter
what I do , I cannot seem to get any window manager to come up but twm.
I have changed about every "dot" file I know of (.xinitrc, .xsession,
.Xclients, etc..) - inserting the line 'exec afterstep' in it as the
only line - but no matter what I put in these files I always boot into
twm when logging in.
The only way that I can get afterstep (or anything else) to come up
other than twm is to kill xdm and run startx from the command line.
RedHat 5.0, Kernel 2.0.3.2
Any ideas?
