No extra configuring is needed to run WindowMaker. Just to choose |
25 |
'GNUStep WindowMaker' session in your display manager (kdm, gdm) and |
26 |
login. |

It seem that in your case wmaker is crashing or so. Try to remove |
29 |
GNUstep directory from your home. If it does not help, look into the |
30 |
file ~/.xsession-errors if there is some error. |
