I would say, echo "exec /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc But if you don't have gnome-session, then this won't work either. gnome-session is installed as part of gnomecore. Make sure you have that installed on your machine. To tell you the truth, there are some problems installing GNOME from packages, too. We recommend you build GNOME from an up-to-date ports tree. Check out http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq.html#q1 for our recommended GNOME install instructions.
