No luck so far. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Well, I got xdm working with Openwindows. What follows my .sig is a tarred, compressed, and uuencoded version of my scripts, etc, that xdm uses to make this work. xnewsdm is a hard link to xdm - it's so I can have one running vanilla X and the other running XNeWS and send SIGHUPS to the appropriate one to restart it's server. I posted this to alt.sys.sun a while back, but I realise a fair number of people dont get the alt.* groups.
