mmmhhh, ok, so I disabled .Xresources and .xsession and
also did *not* set the OLWMMENU environment variable: No
luck, though: The workspace menu works with xdm disabled, but fails
to work when I log in via xdm. I also checked .xsession-errors
and /var/log/xdm-errors, but the first file is empty and the
second doesn't say anything suspicious.

So, does anyone know of another error file that may contain
diagnostic information?

Thanks for the help so far!

BTW: The exact package I am using is olvwm_4.1-5.deb - from stable.
