Im trying to get afterstep 1.6.6 installed and i'am using redhat 5.1, and i
want to create my own Xclients file to start it up, but im not sure how to
do this. I tried changing a line in the Xclients to point to the new binary but
it didnt work. I can get afterstep running by typing startx
/usr/local/bin/afterstep but i'd rather do it the proper way! :) I've attached
my Xclients file if anyone want to look at it and tell me if i've done
anything wrong that would be great

Thanks 

Simon
