[gentoo-user] XDM / GDM hangs when logging in.

[Samuel Baldwin]

I've recently installed GDM, XDM, and Fluxbox on a new Gentoo machine. When I boot to XDM, and login as root, everything is fine and dandy, with a nice Fluxbox desktop. When I login as my user, it just hangs on a black screen (which xdm used to do when it was pointing to a wm that didn't exist). CAD, CAB, and CAF1 do nothing, and I'm forced to reboot via the power button. I do not know why it is doing this (perhaps bad permissions for fluxbox?), and I would prefer not to do everything as root.

On the side, is it possible to customize the appearance of XDM (I know I can for GDM)?
