No X clients start
I have a brand-new woody r0 installation on a PowerPC macintosh.
I installed X11 and some clients by selecting mozilla, evolution and
a few others in dselect and then picking up their dependencies. I know
I have gnome-panel, gnome-core and a bunch of gnome stuff.
But when I run startx, the X server starts up, but no clients do. I
don't get the gnome splash screen or the gnome desktop. I looked at the
startx script and I would have expected at least an xterm to start up, but
I don't get even that.
Is there another package I need to install to get the right Gnome startup
scripts?
I'm pretty sure I don't even have a window manager running even though
I installed sawfish-gnome.
I've done this a couple times before, and generally all it took was
to download a few gnome apps and their dependencies to get the whole
desktop installed. That didn't happen this time.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Mike
