Thanks for the tip. Instead of copying all that code from
/etc/X11/window-managers, I just used my .xsession file from RedHat :
# Window Maker default X session startup script
PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
# If you login from xdm, uncomment this to make error messages appear
# in the console window.
#
tail -f $USER/.xsession-errors > /dev/console &
/usr/local/bin/paralogger &
exec wmaker
Works fine now. I am able to start up the desired X clients.
Also, to get non-root users to run PPP, I just did :
usermod -G dip ssahmed
Thanks.
