FVWM: Trouble running Fvwm in OpenWindows!

Hey, all. I have been trying to install FVWM on a Solaris 2.6 maching
running OpenWindows. So far I am having no luck.

I set up my ~/.xinitrc as follows:

#!/bin/sh
stty erase
DISPLAY=:0.0
export DISLPAY
xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
exec fvwm2

About as basic as it gets.
The .fvwm2rc file is the sample with the icon path and pixmap path
fixed. Nothing more.

When the login screen comes up, I select OpenWindows from the Options
dropdown, and the screen comes up black, flashes white, and bonks back
to the login screen. Then I have to log in to CDE to fix it back. With
this .xinitrc, I do have twm running, but I want virtual desktops!

I compiled fvwm with xpm support ( I had to build and install the xpm
libs myself from xpm-3.4k-solaris.tgz )

I am not sure how to test the xpm libs, but that is the only thing I can
imagine would cause the problem.

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance

Lou
