11.0 fresh install: I never see CDE Login
I've just completed a fresh install of HP-UX 11.0 on my 712/80 and everything starts up fine until it gets to the point where X kicks off and I believe at this point is supposed to launch into the CDE login.
It just sits there on the blank X screen with the X cursor for a minute or so then BEEPS and then drops to the text terminal output where it says
=====================================
Starting Desktop login on Bishop Display:0
=====================================
then cycles back to X and beeps again after a bit and adds
=====================================
Resuming Desktop login
=====================================
then cycles back to X and beeps again after a bit and adds
=====================================
Suspending desktop login
Press [Enter] to login to console
Desktop login will resume later after logout
=====================================
Over and over and over...
NOTE: the text above is not exact but close enough
Anyone else see and know how to get past this issue?
Thanks.

DtWsmChangeBackdrop(API) DtWsmChangeBackdrop(API)
NAME
DtWsmChangeBackdrop -- set current workspace's backdrop
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Wsm.h>
int DtWsmChangeBackdrop(
Display *display,
Window root,
char *path,
Pixmap pixmap);
DESCRIPTION
The DtWsmChangeBackdrop function works with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and changes the current workspace's backdrop. Applications
can use this function to implement an interface to the workspace manager.
If the DtWsmChangeBackdrop function is not successful, the most likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is
not running.
DtWsmChangeBackdrop sends a message to the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), to change the backdrop.
The path argument points to a backdrop file name. The file must be in either X Bitmap file format (with extension .bm) or Pixmap file for-
mat (with extension .pm). The workspace management services look for the file along the same path used for searching icons. The directory
/usr/dt/backdrops is the default directory if the file cannot be found along the icon search path.
ARGUMENTS
display display
root root window of the screen
path file path to bitmap file
pixmap pixmap ID of backdrop pixmap
