AFAICT it should be enough to (re)replace '#!/bin/sh' with above "gnome-session"-line. For the future: -arch is a list for FreeBSD-developers to design and discuss new features of FreeBSD. Posting here is pretty much off limits for mere mortals like you and me. ;) The right list for support questions is <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>. HTH, Mario
