Re: FreeBSD 5.2: How do I automatically restart twm with the Default session?
Yes, this is the default twm that comes with 5.2. I was not using a ~/.twmrc or a ~/.xsession. I figured out that twm dumps core when it is restarted by xsm. I also learned that it's xsm that puts up the session dialog, and that xsm -session Default automatically starts the Default session eliminating the dialog. After twm dumped core, sometimes the Default session would remain locked, preventing me from logging in (since xsm couldn't open the Default session). Using the Fail Safe session always worked fine, but I hated having to select it everytime I logged in. Anyway, I couldn't get xsm to automatically reload my Default session without having twm dump core, so I stopped using xsm all together. I simply have twm started by my ~/.xsession now (along with my favorite x commands) and things work fine. If you have any advice on how to get xsm and twm to peacefully coexist, I'd appreciate it.

Re: FreeBSD 5.2: How do I automatically restart twm with the Default session?
This is the twm that comes with 5.2. These problems occured when I was not using a ~/.twmrc or ~/.xsession. I found that there is some problem with xsm restarting twm within a session. I tried everything I could think of but twm always dumps core when its restarted by xsm. Twm only works correctly when a Fail Safe session is started by xsm. I figured out how to eliminate the session dialog after I logged in by adding xsm -session Default in my .xsession, but when twm dumps core, it leaves the session locked, and that prevents me from subsequently automatically logging into the Default session. I ended up just running twm from my .xsession and not using xsm at all. It seems to work fine. If anyone has a workaround for these problems, let me know. Thanks.
