that's strange, when I first got my AS, I had the opposite problem. I
assume you have your .xinitrc setup correctly and your
/usr/share/afterstep/autoexec as well to have your .xinitrc used instead
of your .workspace_state? check out the autoexec file and see what it
says, and make sure your .xinitrc is correct as well.
Anybody wanna lend a hand? I'm not an AS expert by nooo means...what am I
missing here?
