Sounds like your running afterstep from an xterm and you probably already have fvwm or a simlair Window Manager running. Start X from a console with xinit &, that will open up a default xterm in X but with no window managers open so you won't be able to resize etc. Just type cd /work/Afterstep-1.0/afterstep ; ./afterstep & and it should work fine L8rz KrOnUs
