Bug 248069: x11/gnome3-lite requires gdm to run
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D248069



--- Description ---
Trying to test a basic gnome3-lite installation using startx and the follow=
ing
at the end of .xinitrc:

export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=3Dx11
export GDK_BACKEND=3Dx11
exec gnome-session

Xorg starts, but I just get a black screen.

After pkg install gdm, startx works fine.

I noticed that gdm depends on polkit-gnome, so I tried that alone and found=
 it
was not sufficient.

Maybe gdm should be added to RUN_DEPENDS for gnome3-lite?
