Got it to work finally after some tweaking around.

I did an upgrade of the Xfree86 to version 4.2.0 and now I cannot see anything on the desktop. I'm using RHL7.2 completely patched up-todate. I wanted to use WindowMaker-0.85. The installs for both went fine, but the onlt thing on my desktop is the twm and nothing else. I cannot create a windows or anything of the sort. Does anyone know of how to fix this mess?
Also because of this I can only start programs from xterm. The problem with this is when I close Mozilla for instance (I may have 4 sessions opened) all of the Windows with Mozilla closes and xterm session and it sends me back to the login screen.
It does not matter if I login as root or a user, KDE or Gnome it's all the same.
Could really use some help and explanation of what and where I went wrong.
Thanks
