sorry for cross-posting, or exactly reposting after getting no answer, it's not exactly FreeBSD-related but if anyone know, please give me a clue. i'm not GNOME expert, to be exact - i don't use it privately at all, but i have to configure it for others. the problem: first - system(s) configuration: 1) host machine running NetBSD, or FreeBSD or linux (no matter, same effects) with GNOME version 2.<=10 (all version give same effects), running gdm for remote displays. no X local display. 2) X-terminals which are super-cut version of NetBSD 1.5.3+statically compiled X server that runs with -query to host machine 1). No fonts, uses font server on 1) too. such configuration works perfect if i use fvwm2 and icewm and twm, using both gdm and xdm for logging in. it works perfect too if after using fvwm2 or icewm i will log out and THEN log on into gnome desktop. BUT - if i log on into gnome desktop at first time (after X server started) it crashes after a short while - before displaying any progress, or quickly after displaying gnome startup window. X crashes without first putting anything to it's log. problem is at first login after X server start, NOT X terminal's NetBSD start. if i would press CTRL-ALT-Backspace so X server will exit and (by script on terminal) restart, it works as first start. could anyone help me how to find a problem at all. i just have no idea where to search! after this: my X terminals have no problem handling any apps, with and without gnome. i'm actually using them in many places for many uses - no problems.
