I run 16.04, so I guess that will be it. Any idea how to be sure (command to test this)?

May be I should try to get WindowMaker to run on this box and see whether this makes a difference!?

I tried to get Window Maker to run to figure out whether the problem is window manager related. I did

add-apt-repository ppa:profzoom/wmaker

apt-get update

apt-get install wmaker

logged out and tried to login after selecting Window Maker in the login panel. This does not work. I am not logged in but routed back to the login screen! :-(

Any experiences with Window Maker and its installation on an Ubuntu 16.04 system?

Thanks a lot,
