Hi!
I just helped a user (fbernal) whose .startup.X was hanging after the inc
command.
His .startup.X file was:
xsetroot -solid steelblue4
inc
zwgc
add outland
xzewd &
zctl add mail pop &
zctl add mail popret &
After some experimentation and adding echo commands, we narrowed it
down to the zwgc. When we took that out, the rest of his .startup.X
ran fine.
I know that he doesn't need the zwgc command in there. However, it
has worked for him for about a year before this, and then failed
consistently all day today (he used rs/6000s all day; I haven't tried
it on other platforms).
Thanks,
Carla
