Using the defaults that are set up from the 3.4 installation,
I went on to set up .xsession files for both root and my regular user
account, then started xdm from root's shell prompt.
I can't log in at all with the regular user account. I get
"Incorrect password" (which may be the case--I'll have to reset that
password). When I attempt to log in as root, the screen goes black,
and then xdm recycles itself and I get the login screen back. I
can't break out of this--CTRL-Alt-Backspace just causes the cycle to
repeat. The only way out is to push the button and reboot the
machine (which I *hate* doing when non-journaling file systems are
involved).
Can I beg, borrow, or rent a clue from someone?
Thanks,
