Something odd here: I upgraded to Woody using dselect and everything went swimmingly. I then added in the X11 stuff (version 4, not the old 3.3.6) ran startx and again everything looked good. Even after rebooting to get the new 2.4.17 kernel to be used things still looked good.
But, after turning the machine off for a few hours, startx leaves me without a window manager. In fact it looks as if the last couple of items in my .xinitrc are being ignored; I don't get tkdesk or flwm starting by themselves. They can be started by hand but then the logout button just puts me back in a non-window-managed X11 instead of logging me out to a console as happened under potato and even under Woody before turning the machine off. I have appended my .xinitrc for any suggestions to improve it-- what am I missing or what has changed in how it is handled now in Woody? TIA, Doug.
