I just had something very strange happen.  I was trying to set up color
xterm defaults in my toor account.  All my X accounts run WindowMaker.  In
the password file, my home account is toor, but in the profile scripts, it
is root.  When i changed them to 'toor' and copied my .xinitrc file, when
i started X, TWM came up.  I've never seen it before, and since the
.xinitrc file says to load WindowMaker, i can't figure ot what
happened.  But as soon as i changed the HOME environment variables to
'root', it worked fine, and loaded WM just like before.
