  • It looks as if you have only started xclock and nothing else. What other programs were expecting to show up?

  • Looks like twm. Can you right click on the desktop? Also, X as root is a bad idea.

  • It would be helpful to add a sentence or two to describe that the user is seeing a bare-bones X11 session with no desktop environment or window manager at all, which is very minimal to the point of being unusable.
