Window Maker on Solaris

[Andreas Höschler]

Hello all,

I am tryingto get window maker to work on Solaris 10. I followed the  
instructions on http://www.gunfleet.com/solaris/winman.htm and created  
the following files (attached to thi smail):

        pico /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources.d/Xresources.windowmaker
        pico /usr/dt/config/Xinitrc.windowmaker
        pico /usr/dt/config/Xsession.windowmaker
        pico /usr/dt/config/Xsession2.windowmaker

I then made the scripts executable

        chmod a+x /usr/dt/config/Xinitrc.windowmaker
        chmod a+x  /usr/dt/config/Xsession.windowmaker
        chmod a+x /usr/dt/config/Xsession2.windowmaker

and run

        /opt/csw/bin/wmaker.inst

for a user account. WindowMakaer appears in the list of sessions. But  
when logging in I only get a black screen and a small white terminal  
window in the top left corner. Nothing more! What am I missing? I would  
love to find a guide with a bunch of steps that lead to a working  
Window Maker desktop.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

    Andreas
