Not your fault: the new setup defaults to TWM instead of Quartz-WM.
What's happening here is that X11.app now reads global default config
from
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, which includes the TWM window manager, a clock,
and several xterms. If you aren't happy with this arrangement, either
edit
this file (you need root priviliges to do this, so use sudo: "sudo vim
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc" or similar) or, preferably, copy it to your
home
directory & edit that copy:
cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
vim ~/.xinitrc
Suggested change to your .xinitrc -- comment our the twm line, and
replace
it with one to quartz-wm. After doing so, I ended up with these lines:
#twm &
quartz-wm &
Changes like this should address some or all of your problems. Give it
a
try and see if things get better after you do that.
This did the trick. Thanks a lot!
I smell a FAQ coming on :)
Absolutely. I have gotten a personal email already! I will forward your
solution (including your copyright ;)
Thanks again,
Costas
