Hi<BR>
<BR>
I downloaded WindowMaker-0.80.2.tar.gz<BR>
untared it, then<BR>
./configure<BR>
make<BR>
and finally <BR>
checkinstall (this creates an rpm from my build and installs it, that way I don't loose my rpm database, if you want to know more from checkinstall check <A HREF="http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/">http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/</A>)<BR>
<BR>
Any how, everything went ok, then I go to my console, type <BR>
echo exec wmaker > .xinitrc<BR>
and then<BR>
startx, and this is what I get<BR>
<BR>
[kwame@padawan kwame]$ startx<BR>
