When you say "remove AS," do you mean "rm -r
~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep ? In that case I would lose the theme as well,
since that is in a subdirectory of the ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep
directory. Is there some way to remove AfterStep but leave the theme
intact?

That's the problem. I don't know where AfterStep should be. I thought
it should be where I had put it.

The version in /usr/X11R6/share/afterstep seems to remain, even after
an rpm installation. I guess I could do rm -r /usr/X11R6/share/afterstep,
but I don't dare do this until I know that I won't be causing even more
trouble by doing so.

The .xinitrc file does not exist by default in Linux Mandrake. I have
created such a file containing only the line "exec afterstep" for the first
user in whose directory I installed AfterStep, and this works just fine, but
it does not work for the other user for which I have done exactly the same.

Thank you for your help.
