[rescue] X startup

Can someone point me to a reference on the steps a Solaris system goes
through when an external X Terminal tries to connect?

A list of the default places to look for logs, error messages, etc. would be
nice. too.

I'm trying to troubleshoot a set-up that used to work, I didn't change
anything, yada, yada, but now when the X terminal connects it gets a strange
login screen and, once logged in, you get no window manager at all.

Sometime during the process, dtwm is dumping core, too.

This only happens with my HP X-term; using an X emulator from a PC works
fine.

SS LX, 128MB, plenty of disk space, straightforward Sol 7 installation, I've
manned 'til I'm blue, etc.

Thanks.
