Well this got me close.  X came up but was messed up realy bad.  it only drew
part of the X background and the rest was just a magnifed picture of the
console that i could move the mouse over.  also the afterstep menus came up
but i couldn't click on anything, it would just bring up another menu.  So
i tried making the config more like my old one but that just made it do the
blink again.  any idea on this?

"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride."
   -G.K.Chesterton: English Hymnal
