What were you trying to do?
	I just logged onto the computer.

What's wrong:
	My window manager (vtwm.gamma) did not start.

What should have happened:
	It should have started...

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	my windowmanager is set to:
		/afs/athena/project/windowmanagers/@sys/vtwm.gamma
	This has worked in the past without problems.  However it did not
	work on this machine, which is designated as an Athena Release 8.1 
	"early test" machine.

	I noted that @sys is set to sun4_51.  However there is no such
	directory in /afs/athena/project/windowmanagers/
	There is however a sun4m_54 directory, which seems to work on this
	machine.  That is I could manually execute vtwm.gamma from that 
	directory.
