That's exactly how I broke it. I went and found that my normal wm was kdm, and that it had left the building. So I removed 3, installed 2, then installed 3, and it all works. But I like your idea better. I think next time I'm bored (and brave) I'll try that. Anyway, thanks for the help. Have a good one. Brandon As a side note, I kinda like TWM. ;) Live and learn.
