Hi folks,

FreeBSD 5.2
=========

On multi-user shell
# gnome-session
could not start 'GNOME.

It must start Xterm first and then from Xterm window starts GNOME.  Besides 
GNOME takes long time to start.

If booting to GUI login screen there are only 2 options there, KDE and 
Failsafe, for selection

#cat /etc/ttys
....
ttyv8   "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon"  xterm on secure
....

Kindly advise how to make 'GNOME' available for selection on the GUI login 
screen.

Remark: KDE starting has no problem

TIA

B.R.
Stephen Liu
