The default .Xclients file that new users get is something like the
following:
#!/bin/bash
rm -f /tmp/Xrootenv.0
rm -f /tmp/fvwmrc*
if [ -f $HOME/.fvwm2rc.m4 ]; then
RCFILE=$HOME/.fvwm2rc.m4
else
RCFILE=/etc/X11/TheNextLevel/.fvwm2rc.m4
fi
if [ ! -z $(type -path fvwm95-2) ]; then
env > /tmp/Xrootenv.0
exec fvwm95-2 -f "FvwmM4 -debug $RCFILE" -display :0 \
> $HOME/.FVWM95-errors 2>&1
fi
if [ ! -z $(type -path fvwm2) ]; then
env > /tmp/Xrootenv.0
exec fvwm2 -f "FvwmM4 -debug $RCFILE" -display :0 \
> $HOME/.FVWM2-errors 2>&1
fi
if [ ! -z $(type -path fvwm) ]; then
exec fvwm
fi
# last resort
xterm &
exec twm
This is bad, because it assumes firstly that the display will always be
:0, and secondly that nobody else is running an X session at the same time
(ie it's safe to arbitrarily blow away files in /tmp).
Also, even if that is taken care of, upon logging in I am greeted with a
lot of disk grinding, and eventually dumped back at the xdm login prompt.
The .FVWM95-errors file contains this:
Including_buttons...
Including_complex functions...
Including_mouse bindings...
Including_key bindings...
Including_menus...
Basic start menu...
Preferences menu...
Xlock/Screensaver menus...
Window-Ops menu...
Including_fvwm_programs...
Including_fvwm_hostmenus...
Including_modules...
Including_init...
Done

Does anybody have any ideas what might be wrong?
