It sounds like you are running twm. Simply click on the X screen and a context menu should show up. including resize/move/ and xterm :) When having an xterm you can start the WM of your choise. re, wh Joerg Bruehe wrote:
Hi all!
I run an Athlon PC, using SuSE 9.3. My graphics card is a Matrox G 450 (AGP, 32 MB) with the "mga" driver. I have two TFTs connected to it with a traditional Dual-Head setup (independent KDE workspaces with different configurations, no Xinerama).
With this setup (no hardware changes !), in SuSE 9.1 I could start a new session as another user, overlaying my current one, and it was fully functional.
After the upgrade to SuSE 9.3, such a new session does not have a Window manager running, so the windows lack their borders and title line, and all window manager functions (resize, move, ...) are impossible to do.
Is this a known effect, is there some setting needed in 9.3 which was implicit in 9.1, or anything else I can do to make this work again?
Just in case someone is curious: I typically have long-running graphic applications, so I can not start them from "screen", but I want to give my wife access to her account with her own KDE and applications when I make a longer break, so I really need two different X sessions for different users, the second one hiding the first until the second terminates.
Thanks for hints, Jörg
