TWM window manager starting instead of normal one
Hiya,

I'm running Fedora Core 7. The other day my desktop crashed and when I rebooted the computer it started into the very basic and simple TWM window manager. So I'm guessing it's due to some problem with starting my normal window manager. Where should I start looking for a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance!

/Alex
