Maybe rename /home/frank/.xinitrc to /home/frank/.xinit.rc.backup Then copy /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc to /home/frank and rename xinitrc to .xinitrc (and chown it to frank while youre at it). As you have it now and you start as root it currently uses /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.

Frank, can you start twm when you log in as a user? It smells like some permission issue from xfce. You could backup all the xfce files with the actual permissions and then set them all to 777 and try to start it. Just an idea herbs On Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:03:40 +0200 Frank Wißmann [EMAIL
