Hi guys and girls

I recently downloaded the latest version of WindowMaker.
I used the install script, (which runs ./configure etc) and it appeared
to install properly.
I then ran the wmaker.inst script, to set up myself to use it.
I also followed the instructions at the end of the install script that
said to change the path ( /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit , isn't it)  ,  and add a
line to  /etc/ld.so.conf  .
Startx, and it loads up the same crappy window manager that Red Hat has
always had.  I can't seem to switch to WindowMaker.
I have KDE installed, but I delete the .xclients file to stop KDE
loading.

I must have missed something...

The pie certainly was funny, but a brick would have been better.
