I'm not sure what I did; I was upgrading some Ghostview and Ghostscript RPM's recently, I've been trying to get IPX to run, and I did have a Netscape crash which let to a somewhat unexpected Xwindows crash, but other than that I don't think I've done much to screw up my system. Like that's not enough ;) The problem is, if I try to run Xwindows as any user other then root, it appears to run (no errors on the tty where I run startx at least -- does X keep an error log somewhere other than under /var/log?) but it gets stuck right at the point where the first background screen comes up and the mouse cursor is all by itself on the screen. Xwindows isn't hung completely; I can move the mouse around, but it never gets any further than the blank screen. I do notice that under /tmp there is a file, owned by root (dated the last time I ran Xwindows as root) named fvwmrca0167. The number part varies from one run of Xwindoes to the next. When I try to run Xwindows as any other user, the file gets created, but it's empty; nothing is being read in. My question is, what is the source of this file? And does anybody know what would happen that might prevent it from being built the right way? Oh yeah, and I do NOT have xdm running in rc.local. I learned that lesson.
