Put afterstep in your local .Xclients, i.e. ~/.Xinitrc.  If you don't have
one, make one with a text editor.  A couple of things:

1)  If "afterstep" is _not_ the last line in your .Xclients, then put an
ampersand after it:  "afterstep &".  If it _is_ the last thing, don't put
an ampersand after it.

2)  .Xclients needs to be executable, so you make one yourself with a text
editor, execute the following:

chmod 755 .Xclients

That will make .Xclients readable, writable, and executable by you, and
readable and executable by anyone else.  If you want a different
combination of permissions, do as appropriate.  For a better description,
check the man page for chmod (the example above is "numeric mode").
