Try choosing the "Failsafe Session" from the login panel's Options (or
whatever) thingy, then log in.

If that works, and you get a terminal window, command "dtwm &" (make sure
your path includes /usr/dt/bin or whatever).

If that works, and you get a DT desktop, YOU HAVE THE SAME FSCKING PROBLEM I
HAVE!
