Reply With Quotehow are you entering X ? and what do ay get when ya enter which wmaker?
Was having a lot of minor glitches with WIndowMaker (installed from the Mandrake 8.2 disks) so took it off and re-installed it from a tarball. Now I am unable to access it. Made a file (.xsession) and placed the following in it: "exec WindowMaker". Still no luck. Any suggestions?

Was entering at level five - changed it to enter at text only. which wmaker returned: "usr/local/bin/wmaker" I changed the .xsession file to read "EXEC wmaker" hoping to access it thru the default but no luck.

hello,
try exec /usr/local/wmaker ...
Tried that but same result - opened in KDE. (There are times when KDE reminds me of Windoze).

do ya have a ~/.xinitrc ? if so try putting the commands in there, if not make a link to .xsession - e.g. ln -s .xsssion .xinitrc
No, no .xinitrc.

Problem solved. Gave up and re-installed it - this time in RPM. For some reason my system/Mandrake 8.2 does not like tar versions. Works fine now - what a great window manager!
