Hello Art,
Did you upgrade by downloading the binaries and using the
Xinstall.sh shell?
If the answer is yes, then you are facing the same problem I
had.
I used the gdm to log into Gnome. After the X upgrade, my gdm &
GNome were gone and replaced with xdm and a different window
manager.
If this is the case, there are 2 solutions:
(1) reinstall the new X using the Xinstall.sh and when you are
asked questions choose the deafult (ususally is n).
(2) go to /etc/X11 and edit the files in the directory of your
favorite display manager (under sessions).
For example, I use Gnome and gdm, so I go to /etc/X11/gdm
then I go to sessions dierectory. Under it, you will find
choices for window managers (Default, Gnome, KDE, etc)
Each of these is a small text files that contains commands
to start the appropriate wm.
Gnome -> exec gnome-session
KDE -> exec kde
Defauult -> exec gnome-session OR exec kde OR whatever
IMPORTATNT: make sure that Defualt has the correct command
that will start your favorite wm.
I hope this kinda helps :-)
