This is not working because I don't have "/usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session". Are the instructions up to date, or have I done something wrong? I just did "pkg_add -r gnome" and it seems to be installed because in /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session there exists gnomecc and gnome-config, etc. VanB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
