Thanks Bruce, this is exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully between
this information and the next message you sent about startx on RH5.x,
I'll be able to get this under control.
I might add that it *seems* if you do a 'Restart' that the
~/G/L/A/non-configurable/startmenu is NOT created.
Is it 1.6.x or 1.4.x ? Well, let's put it this way, I loaded
1.6.10-1.rpm. I'm still trying to remove the things that RH did so that
I can really get AfterStep.
Thanks for your help !
