Try this: remove the .xinitrc file from your home directory (you might
want to back it up somewhere) and supply a .twmrc file. There is a
system-wide file under:
/etc/X11/twm/system.twmrc
you can use this (along with many helpful webpages) to customize your own
.twmrc file. This has worked we

What Martin is saying is that your problem is that twm crashes at launch, so
you don't have a windowmanager running, which explains the lack of
titlebars, resizing etc. This is an old proble

In the Xfree packages in stable, the twm window manager does not work,
probably due to some incompatiblity betwee
So you don't have titlebars on your twm xterms, etc.?
In all my previous X11 installations, the default
window manager was twm and the default .xinitrc
started three xterms that had titlebars that could be
used to move, minimize, or resize the windows. I
haven't tried any other window managers y

Thanks for the response, Erik. twm is pretty basic,
but all the features I described in my original
message were working up until I did the reinstall
yesterday. I'm using twm and the same .xinitrc on
another machine and seeing the expected behavior. The
reason I did all the work on X11 is that
Oh, whoops. Guess you had an .xinitrc.
I don't think that twm offers a lot in the way of window customization,
though. Resizing and what not... it might be that you didn't know it
but you had a better window manager before. Try 'fink install icewm' or
use dselect and give yourself a better w
Sounds like you did everything this side of the Mississippi with your X
server. But what about your window manager? IIRC (and X11 is still new
to me), the kinds of window management things you want to do are the
responsibility of the window manager, not the X server. Are you sure
that your
In my previous post, I failed to mention that I'm
using the default twm window manager. I copied the
xinitrc file from /usr/X11R6/etc/ to ~/.xinitrc and
modified the last few lines to look like the

In a recent re-installation of fink, xfree86-base, and
xfree86-rootless, I've noticed several changes in
behavior:
1) No titlebars on X apps, so I can't move, minimize,
or resize windows.
2) Can no longer cut and paste using buttons 1 and 2
(i.e. select text with button 1 and paste with button
2)
