Hello, Jeff.

A general note: you need to provide us with the error messages !!

Err.. does RH stop at sendmail for a long time?

If it's Afterstep 1.4, it could be the missing configuration files. Afterstep
1.4 stores the configuration files in the directory ~/GNUstep/, so try to look
for these files in /root/ or the AS directory and copy them to ~/.

What I do try change my wm is to create a script .Xclients in my user directory
with the following contents:

====================

#!/bin/bash

########################################################################
# -*- sh -*-                                                           #
#                                                                      #
# ~/.Xclients: used by startx (xinit) to start up a window manager and #
# any other clients you always want to start an X session with.        #
#                                                                      #
# feel free to edit this file to suit your needs.                      #
########################################################################

exec afterstep  # or any other X wm.

====================

Hope that helped!!
