    Yesterday, I restored a system from a dump tape (4.0F PK7). The dump
    tape was from a working system that was on our network about a year ago.
    I was able to restore the tape successfully, and recompile the kernel
    without any issues. X even loads at the correct resolutions, and color
    depth.

    However, I am unable to successfully login to CDE as any user on the
    system (including root). I can login via text mode, and through
    failsafe GUI desktop. When I try to login to CDE, the system hangs at
    the blue screen. I've tried numerous things, all of which failed.

    .dt/errorlog.old shows this:

    Workspace Manager: I/O error on display:: :0.0

    =========================================

    .dt/startlog shows this:

    --- /usr/dt/bin/Xsession starting...
    --- Xsession started by dtlogin
    --- Starting the checklist setup
    --- Reloading host access via dxhosts
    --- sourcing //.dtprofile...
    --- sourcing /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/0010.dtpaths...

    --- Starting /usr/dt/bin/ttsession -s
    --- Starting /usr/dt/bin/dtsession
    --- not sourcing //.login (see //.dtprofile)

    =============================================

    I also verified that the sticky bit was set on the correct dt files:

    # find /usr -fstype ufs -perm 4555
    /usr/dt/bin/dtappgather
    /usr/dt/bin/dtprintinfo
    /usr/dt/bin/dtsession
    /usr/dt/bin/dtterm

    Any help is greatly apreciated. I feel like I'm missing something
    simple, but I just can't figure out what.
