If anyone has time to change XSESSION="Xsession" and log on to their machine as a new user I would be grateful to hear what results they get. I can't help wondering if this is a little-tested option and can't help hoping it's broken globally.
Did so - changed DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" and XSESSION="Xsession", and I get the same login scenario that you described - ugly (yup, that's xdm all right), proceeds to a Session Menu dialog with Load Session, Delete Session, and Default/Fail Safe as options. I select Default/Fail Safe, and I then have to place the xsm window and then an xterm window, and everything seems as I would expect from twm. A few questions: 1. Once you are logged in, if you left or right-click on the gray background, do any options come up? 2. What is the output of emerge -pv twm xsm xterm 3. Any output from revdep-rebuild -p -v? -James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
