I am running Slackware on my machine. I was playing with some stuff (and the xorg.conf a little), creating a new user, etc. I logged in on the new user and I couldn't use anything in X (probably because I didn't give the user's home dir proper permissions.) I restarted the machine and when I boot I am told "command not found" when I type startx. When I go to /usr/X11/bin/startx (that's about right - can't remember exact path) it says a few "command not found"s and quits. I know I'm a little vague, but any idea what the problem might be? Thanks

ls -l `which startx`

add /usr/X11R6/bin to your PATH (edit your .bashrc).
Then you can run startx without any special stuff and it will find all the programs it needs to.
