Hello,

    I am running current as of yesterday and I built the Gnome port as of
yesterdays CVSUP.  My question is, has anybody had any luck starting Gnome
under a similar circumstance.  I have the following .xinitrc

    #!/bin/sh
    exec gnome-session

    I have enlightenment installed also, as of yesterday as well.

    The symptoms that I see are a simple server hang.  It is not a true
hang, but I never get a window manager or desktop, just the gray X-Windows
screen with the X mouse pointer in the center.  Nothing else.  I start X
using "startx -- -bpp 32". Why would this happen?  I have followed the
directions on the Gnome web page by placing the gnome-session exec in
.xinitrc.
