Hello and thanks.
I really did what you said, and I got no errors from wmii,
-I got a black scrren with windows on.
In order to get like it was, I have trashed X11.App, and rm -fR opt/X11 and reinstalled
XQuartz.
I guess I have screwed up a defaults value somewhere which leaves
me with windows in the X11 root window.
That is the only way the for instance xclock window are shown, are in the root window when the rest is black.
I'll go back and browse the archives, but if anybody knows what I have been doing, or what I should do, then please let me know!
