Can't start KDE or TWM with KDM

[David Aubril]

Well, I'm just a french guy. But I met that a couple of times. I guess 
that there is a line somewhere which still refers to /usr/X11R6. So 
that's what I wrote in my shell :
#ln -s /usr/pkg/xorg /usr/X11R6
It worked for me.

With TWM I don't have any message, but it does not work too.

I launch KDM as a root user, and don't set up any environment variable
before.
    
What does 'which iceauth' show?  Perhaps a package is missing?

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
