Most probably the exec failed, perhaps because afterstep isn't in your path or because it crashed. Type $ which afterstep to verify that you have afterstep and where it is installed, and use the full path instead of just 'afterstep'. If it still doesn't work, look for a file in your home directory called .xsession-errors and see if that contains any error messages that may shed light on things. > Besides, shouldn't this tie into startx somehow? > startx checks for and runs the user's .xsession if it is present.
