new xbase -- no window manager started
Hi,
as I use to keep my system up-to-date, I upgraded yesterday my xbase
(along with libc6 and other things) to the new "hamm/frozen" versions,
and suddenly my afterstep is not automatically loaded anymore with
startx. I have to type "afterstep" in the terminal opened, instead.
I'm not sure this is quite the problem, but I took a look at startx,
and it looks for a xinitrc at:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
but this file does not exist. I also checked the previous version, and
I think that the "former" xinitrc (i.e. the xinitrc at the previous
xbase) was supposed to be at /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, and it is also
not there (anymore?).
My windos-managers file seem to be ok:
nr# cat /etc/X11/window-managers
/usr/bin/X11/afterstep
/usr/bin/X11/mwm
/usr/X11R6/bin/mwm
nr# type afterstep
afterstep is /usr/bin/X11/afterstep
and afterstep loads correctly if I call it from the terminal, as I
said.
Any clue?
