I have a window manager question.  I'm running
a DECstation 3100.  I just got the Motif
code, and have compiled and built most of
the parts.  I want the motif window manager
(mwm) to be the startup window manager.  How
do I do that?  

I'm also getting unexpected results with the
esource file they give:
!  app-defaults RESOURCE SPECIFICATIONS FOR Mwm
!

*moveThreshold:                 3
!Mwm*buttonBindings:            DefaultButtonBindings

!
! component appearance resources
!
*resizeBorderWidth:             7

! FONT stuff
*fontList:                      variable
! Use smaller fixed font for icons
*icon*fontList:                 fixed

!#ifdef COLOR
!*menu*background:              LightGray
!*feedback*background:          LightGray
!
!#else
!! MONOCHROME setup
!*feedback*backgroundPixmap:    foreground
!*menu*backgroundPixmap:                foreground
!
!#endif

When I load this in, my window manager menus became blue 
(they were black & white.)  

Also, when I tried to put these definitions in the system 
/.Xdefaults, it caused dxsession to hang (actually, I don't
know which part hung, but no login window ever came up).

Strange stuff, I know!  Any clues?

thanks,
