After creating yet another .xsession file I get the following:

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should
be 1; fixinng.
AUDIT: Thu Apr 5 20:40:04 2007: 726 X: client 2 rejected from local host

In my .xsession (mode 700):

#! /bin/sh
twm &

When I boot it loads xdm. When I try to log in, the screen goes blank
and then comes back to the login screen. Ideas....
