Got it.
The xmame MyDSL extension adds a superfluous </Menu> tag in /home/dsl/.jwmrc Looks like this (in part):
... <!-- MyDSL Extension Menu Placeholder --> <Menu label="myDSL"> <Menu label="XMame"> <Program label="1943"> /usr/games/xmame 1943 </Program> <Program label="Asteroid"> /usr/games/xmame asteroid </Program> <Program label="Berzerk"> /usr/games/xmame berzerk </Program> <Program label="Centipede"> /usr/games/xmame centiped </Program> <Program label="Frogger"> /usr/games/xmame frogger </Program> <Program label="Missile Command"> /usr/games/xmame missile </Program> <Program label="OffRoad"> /usr/games/xmame offroadt </Program> <Program label="Outrun"> /usr/games/xmame outrun </Program> <Program label="Tempest"> /usr/games/xmame tempest </Program> <Program label="Zaxxon"> /usr/games/xmame zaxxon </Program> </Menu> </Menu> <Program label="Falling Tower"> /opt/Xjump/xjump </Program> <Program label="Go Game"> /usr/games/cgoban </Program> <Program label="ACM Game"> /usr/games/acm </Program> <Program label="INSTALL Alien"> rxvt -rv -T "Installing Alien" -e /opt/aliendebs/install_aliendebs </Program> <Program label="lincity game"> /usr/games/xlincity </Program> ...
I took out one </Menu> tag after the Zaxxon entry and restarted.
Why was this difficult? Because without the menu, I was not able to switch to fluxbox. (Remember, I'm a n00b.) I was able to restart using the shutdown -r now command.
How did I find this solution? I dug around in Emelfm until I found /usr/bin/jwm and then ran it. The message window at the bottom gave me a bunch of stuff about improper tags, so I looked for a config file. Finally found it (not sure why I missed it, but I think it's because I keep thinking it's JVM, not JWM), as above, /home/dsl/.jwmrc
That's just an xml file, really, and while I'm not a coder, I can suss out enough to see where there's one too many tags or a tag missing.
