[techtalk] problems with new X

[Beverly Guillermo]

It sounds like your install overwrote your configuration files that came
with your distribution.  Your probably using twm as your window
manager... to fix it, you'd have to re-configure your configuration files
or else place .xinitrc in your home directory.  Inside .xinitrc you should
place:

exec gnome-session

I don't know if you have to explicitly put in sawmill in that file...
