We did that and I can select Azalea from the dtlogin menu now. However, if I log in I get a black screen with a xterm window only. If I enter 

openapp EtoileMenuServer.app

in the xterm window I get

Critcal Error in EtoileMenuServer
NSUndefinedKeyException: Unable to find value for key


When I try "openapp LookAndBehavior.app" I get

2006-08-25 12:48:53.934 LookAndBehavior[6909] Loading 1 user defined AppKit bundles

We have just installed the latest GNUstep sources (base, gui, back). This did not help. Do we have to install Gorm as well for this to work? 

I also have no dock. We were using WindowMaker before and used its dock. I guess Azalea has no dock on its own and we have to build GWorkspace to get a dock again. Is that correct?

Thanks for any hints!

Regards,

Andreas
