Xsession (help)

[Greg Green <greg@advantagecom.com>]

Hi,
I am having a very frustrating time with my .xsession.  I can login just
fine if I don't have a .xsession of my own, but if I copy the
/etc/X11/Xsession to my $HOME/.xsession, my console just hangs.  After
this hanging, I have to reboot.

Here is what my Xsession looks like (the one I copy to $HOME/.xsession)
#! /bin/sh
#
# /etc/X11/Xsession
#
# This is the global Xsession file.  It is used by both xdm and xinit.

# If /etc/environment is present, source it. It's useful to put default
# environment settings in this file, and then source it both here and in

# /etc/profile.
if [ -f /etc/environment ] ; then
  . /etc/environment
fi

sysmodmap=/etc/X11/Xmodmap
usrmodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/Xresources
usrresources=$HOME/.Xresources

startup=$HOME/.xsession

for errfile in \
  "$HOME/.xsession-errors" "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/xses-$USER"
"/tmp/xses-$USER"
do
  if ( cp /dev/null "$errfile" 2> /dev/null )
  then
    chmod 600 "$errfile"
    exec > "$errfile" 2>&1
    break
  fi
done

    if grep -q ^allow-failsafe /etc/X11/config
    then
      exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
    fi

if [ -f $sysresources ]
then
  xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]
then
  xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if grep -q ^allow-user-resources /etc/X11/config
then
  if [ -f $usrresources ]
  then
    xrdb -merge $usrresources
  fi
fi

if grep -q ^allow-user-modmap /etc/X11/config
then
  if [ -f $usrmodmap ]
  then
    xmodmap $usrmodmap
  fi
fi

if [ -x $startup ] && grep -q ^allow-user-xsession /etc/X11/config
then
  exec $startup
else
  xterm -ls &
  xterm -sb &
  if [ -e /etc/X11/window-managers ]
  then
    for i in `sed 's/#.*//' /etc/X11/window-managers`
    do
      if [ -x $i ]
      then
        exec $i
      fi
xsetroot -solid RoyalBlue
    done
  fi
  if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm ]
  then
    exec fvwm
  fi
  exec twm
fi

Here is what my /etc/X11/config looks like:
obey-nologin
run-xconsole
xdm-start-server
start-xdm
use-sessreg
allow-user-resources
allow-user-modmap
allow-user-xsession
allow-failsafe

Please help.........Thnx  Greg Green
