Hello to you all,
                  I am new to freeBSD and this mailing list. I have run into 
some problems and am not sure where to post my question. I am running 
FreeBSD 5.2 i386 and am having some problems getting gnome to work. I have 
searched through the handbook and several other text books but am still 
stuck.
         When I am logged in as root X11 and gnome start fine when I type 
'startx', when I am logged in as a normal user I type 'startx' and only X11 
starts. I have followed the instructions in the handbook and modified 
/root/.xsession. any help or direction to other resources would be great.

Thanks

Brett
