Hello!

I just build and installed x11/gnome3. Now whenever I try to launch
gnome-terminal (by clicking on it's icon) it simply doesn't start.
Other applications get launched properly though.

Also I can't access any of the virtual terminals using Ctrl+Alt+F(n) keys.

So basically I have no command-line access in my FreeBSD+GNOME system.

Please help.

BTW I start GNOME by issuing `startx` and ~.xinitrc being used to
start gnome-session.

Thank You.
