Hello,

I just recently installed the new version of XFree86 3.3.3
so that my Matrox Millenium G200 would work ....

now, I'm able to go into my Xwindow,
but I have pretty much "nothing" !
I only have a clock icon, login and Xterm window
and when I click on the screen, I only have a very simple menu that
says things like:

iconify
resize,
etc...

I talked to one of my friends and he says it's cause I don't have a
window manager....
but I used to have the one it installs when first installing redhat

can someone help me to get back my WM...
I don't have a  clue how to do it.
(that's why I'm here...)

please reply this message to: Ravenlost@chatcan.ca
thank you very much!
