   Okay, just tried that -- it was blackbox, and I changed it to matchbox, but
that still doesn't work, it also says it can't load the 75dpi or 100dpi fonts,
then can't find xset, /etc/X11R6/Xdefaults, xrdb, and xstroke. It also couldn't
find that stuff when it was trying to start blackbox, except then it couldn't
find blackbox either. Matchbox does exiest on the system.
   Looks like some stuff didn't install. Is there a package I can get and
install with apt or whatever or should I start over?
