Default Xwindow stopped loading

I tried to use a different window manager, which I'd never heard of and can't remember the name of -- it was three letters. Now when I try to start x, I get the following message. I can't find any clue in the config file about the problem or what to do about it.

Any help?

Thanks much.

I would edit out what is in your /home/gwion/.Xclients file

From what your log is saying, it looks like what ever you installed
edited your configuration files for you and now you are having problems.
