It seems I found the problem. I had a rc.wmii.local file in my ~/.wmii-3.5 directory. When I removed the file WMII managed to get past the dumb white screen and ran fine. My question now is how can I have a local rc.wmii and still be able to run WMII? I also noticed that upon exit from WMII I still get the 'wmiir : fatal : can't mount' error'. How serious is that? One more issue: when I try using wmiir from inside WMII to try and read /bar, /view, whatever I always get the error 'file not found'. What is I am doing wrong?
