WEll, that's the problem with xdm config, and the fact that most distros
install afterstep into /usr/X11R6/bin
Firstly go into that place and make sure there are no AfterStep executables
there : afterstep, Wharf, Pager, WinList, Audio, asetroot, etc.
Then check your xdm config. ON my Slackware 8 it is located at /etc/X11/xdm
You want to edit Xsession and see how afterstep is called.
RedHat and some other distros that are based on funky GUI config tools may
be different, and you should try their GUI tools to fix config instead.
