This is the twm that comes with 5.2. These problems occured when I was not using a ~/.twmrc or ~/.xsession. I found that there is some problem with xsm restarting twm within a session. I tried everything I could think of but twm always dumps core when its restarted by xsm. Twm only works correctly when a Fail Safe session is started by xsm. I figured out how to eliminate the session dialog after I logged in by adding "xsm -session Default" in my .xsession, but when twm dumps core, it leaves the session locked, and that prevents me from subsequently automatically logging into the Default session. I ended up just running twm from my .xsession and not using xsm at all. It seems to work fine. If anyone has a workaround for these problems, let me know.

What does your .xsession or .xinitrc look like? Does removing your personal .twmrc have any effect? _________________________________________________________________ Learn how to choose, serve, and enjoy wine at Wine @ MSN. http://wine.msn.com/
