Hi,

.xsession is executable (mode 700 and 770 have been used). So far I have
tried everything from copy of Xsession from /usr/X... to hard and soft
links of the same to a very simple:

#!/bin/sh
twm &

Some combinations get as far as the blank screen with a small window
that's titled console messages that I cannot do anything with.

Thanks,
