No, for the simple reason that the login manager is the part
that works... 

Xdm is an X app, so X is running when I see the login screen,
and everything seems OK. I've no idea what is actually supposed
to happen when I login. Is X restarted by launching windowmaker
or xfce ? If it is, that is probably where things go wrong.

I could try booting into RL3, log in and then move to RL5 and
a window manager. What is the recommended way of doing this ? 

Ciao,
