Troble with .Xsession script and MWM


HI,

I'm trying to use MWM as window manager. All seems ok: X-Window starts, mwm starts, but it never release the desktop. I mean, the mouse pointer is always with the busy sign, so I can access the menus.

As far as I know, the problem is in my xsession scrip, in this part:

# We may try with chksession
if [ -x /usr/sbin/chksession ];then
#get the first available
SESSION=$(/usr/sbin/chksession -F)
[ -n "$SESSION" -a "$SESSION" != Default ] && exec sh -c "$(/usr/sbin/chksession -x=$SESSION)"
fi


I guess the problem is because mwm doesn't support multisessions, and maybe the script is waiting for something.

I'm not experienced enought to write my own script. Can some one suggest me one??

Thanks a lot

Enzo
