I did that and can now start gnome fine *as root only*. I do have wrapper installed, but "startx" as non-root user fails. I searched the archives and saw lots of replies to posts of the "cannot use startx as non-root user" advising to install wrapper. However, like I said, I already have this installed. All attempts to re-install via pkg_delete wrapper.x errors with a warning that XFree86-4.2.1 depends on wrapper. Is there a config option for wrapper or XFree86Config that I missed somewhere?
