Okay, I tried a simple .Xclients also, and it just wouldn't start up at
all, since it couldn't successfully exec afterstep. I even tried it with
the full path. 8-(
I'm really upset about this! I >cannot< get afterstep 1.5Beta4 to run
from xdm. Can't SOMEONE figure this out? Is there something I'm missing?
The older aftersteps had no problem running from xdm!
Please help! 8-)
