# Greetings,

Run
startx > log 2>&1
and leave X11 (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace might zap the server) look at log
what's happening. Looking at /var/log/XFree86.0.log might provide
additional insight.
It could be you modified/updated some X11 libraries during your package
installation attempts and now your window manager can't find the proper
shared libs. This would explain why X11 works, but your wm does not
start.
Regards,
Jens
