sudo chown -R root /tmp/.X11-unix is the command you use, but I've never needed to. >> 3) what the best and easiest (one shot?, i.e., fink install _____ ) wm >> to >> put on besides TWM? > > Even easier do 'sudo apt-get install windowmaker' sawfish is pretty pleasant as well. personally, I run the gnome-session environment and set my Window manager from that. I never trust anyone's window manager to set itself up. a simple .xinitrc would read: source /sw/bin/init.sh exec gnome-session And excellent item for your startup group is "panel", though you can open eTerm, xTerm or gnometerm and execute it from there as well. with 'panel &'. It's basically a dock application for the gnome desktop. very handy, though I've seen it be flaky in rootless. Personally, once the novelty wore off, I went to using X11 in fullscreen mode anyway. once you get your desktop environment where you want it, you should be all set.
