Unable to run other window managers [solved]

Hi all,

 

I'm using MDV 2009.0 with Gnome 2.24. I decided to try some other desktop environments. I installed icewm, awesome, dwm, evilwm, pekwm and wmii. None of them works.

 

After logging out and changing to another window manager (other than Gnome, that is), and then logging in, I get the following message:

Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskapce. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem.

Then I am thrown back to the login screen. Sometimes I don't even get this message, just get back to the login screen

 

Again, I have no problem logging in with Gnome, only with the other window managers, and in ~/.xsession-errors I didn't find anything related to wmii (only Gnome ,compiz and Firefox).

 

Does anyone know where to start?

 

Thanks.
