Exactly how does it fail?
Rahul
After entering login credentials, 'base blue' background screen comes
up, splash screen comes up, but 'dies' quickly (after 'panel' and
'terminal') so I don't get 'metacity' and other widgets displayed.
I get top and bottom panel displayed, and my 2 terminal windows
appear, but they are missing the window manager 'frame'. If I bring up
another application, say by clicking on the browser icon in the top
panel, it comes up in the upper left position and its 'menu bar'
overwrites the panel. I cannot move or or minimize the app (except,
say, via 'File->Quit').
I've installed Xfce, and it works like a champ......
