Using WindowMaker under Debian



Hi,

I have two  questions about using WindowMaker and I  haven't been able
to find an answer.

Firstly, when  I run WindowMaker with  startx I cannot save  either my
session or  my settings using  WPrefs or wmakerconf. I  have different
partitions for  /home, /usr, etc... The  system says it cannot  make a
symbolic  link  between devices  (I  don't  remember the  exact  error
message  and  I can't  check  it  now). If  I  use  a graphical  login
application  (such  as  xdm,  Login.app, etc...)  I  don't  have  that
problem,  but  I cannot  afford  the  waste  of memory.  I've  checked
permissions, Xserver  configuration and  startx options but  I haven't
been able to find what's missing.

Secondly, when I run fsviewer it always says:

Could not load FSViewer defaults domain database.
A new defaults database will be created.
Please restart the app.

But  it never  creates a  configuration file,  so I  can't change  the
defaults settings  (if I use  the 'Preferences' entry, the  program is
aborted with a "Segmentation fault" error).

Could someone shed some light on these questions? Thanks in advance,

Santi.
