Different window manager? :-) Seriously, ISTR reading several other CD
complaints and switching to KDE or some other WM resolved the issue. I'll be
the first to admit, I don't recall exactly what the deal was or whether it
was Solaris, Linux or BSD, but since they all use X11, it seems reasonable
that you might at least try a different WM.

Tried with and without - neither give me any joy. However, having spent
time chasing dt & X setup scripts, I've now found which fonts paths
caused the errors and removed them.
However, I'm still getting the Warning about "Null child found in
argument list to unmanage" and then "dtlogin: received signal 11", which
is where CDE dies I'm guessing!
Any further thoughts on where to go from here??
Cheers,
Alasdair
