I have tried numerous time to try and get gnome to properly setup and
run on a intel imac. I have in my .xinitrc : . /sw/bin/init.sh quartz-wm --only-proxy & exec gnome-session Gnome starts up but does not set up the gnome environment so that I have useful fonts in a gnome-terminal. Ie it's gibberish. What am I missing to get this to run properly? your help would be greatly appreciated. Richard E.

You might start with installing xfontpath, which will install xinitrc. Once that's done if you add ". /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/ xinitrc" to your ~/.xinitrc file, then it will read the system-wide stuff first, including items from xfontpath. Leopard's X11 introduced a lot of changes, and the documentation hasn't caught up with them as of yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users |

I commented out those lines and then tried a connection and to started and placed a gnome-terminal and nautilus window in the top left of the screen where it put the title bars under the X application title bar. I could not move those windows because I could not get to there window title bars. The funny thing is if I start kde, the gnome gnome application works fine along with kde. I guess there is something anout trying to use gnome-session that is messed up. I will use the kde with gnome as that works fine. Go figure! Thanks for you suggestions. Here is my .xinitrc file contents: #!/bin/bash #/sw/bin/esd & . /sw/bin/init.sh #. /sw/bin/xinitrc.sh #. /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc if [ $1 ] then quartz-wm --only-proxy & exec gnome-session else export KDEWM=kwin /sw/bin/startkde >/tmp/kde.log 2>&1 fi Richard E.
