Thanks for the suggestion, but no further ahead. The Xwin screen just opens
with a blank grey background and the X mouse pointer, but nothing else. No
window manager, no nothing. If I leave it open long enough, it times itself
out and restarts. It does display a msg in the log window though: "XDM: too
many retransmission, declaring session dead". Not sure where to start
looking into that though.
Thanks for some insight!
