XFree doesn't load Windows Manager
G'day
Currently when I startx it loads xfree to cross background and just sits
there. Took me awhile to press the middle button and see I was running
sawfish. From the windows manager menu I have options to run Sawfish ot Twm
To get there I did this.
I have been running KDE 3.1.5 in testing for a while, wanted to try Kopete
so went to unstable. Basically did apt install of, kopete and konqueur.
Couldn't lock screen so saw I had to do kdm. Still no luck and saw kbase
needed doing as well. At around this time the above problem started to
happen
Browsing around google and this mailing list I have tried; first up full
dist-upgrade to unstable, adding new user (for .kde issues ?), purging all
sorts of kde packages and reinstalling - including x-windows-system-core.
If I change the default display manager to gdm, xdm - same problem.
Currently I log in as root, run init.d/kdm. Get a nice kde login screen on
blue background. Log in and again it just sits there. Sawfish menu is
still there so I can open Konsole, run kdesktop, kicker manually and I it
all works that way.
It would appear that an early startup script is a bit disgruntle. I have
tried following the init scripts in /etc/X11 and I really don't know what
I'm doing.
Any recommendations on things to check, or maybe packages I can redo to
replace certain files.
Not KDE issue really I know, but was unsure where to ask this.
Thanks
Dave D
