DISPLAY & Gnome

Hi,

Im trying to run the Gnome WM with X11

Ive tried the following to get it to startup Gnome automatically

- replaced quartz-wm with /sw/bin/gnome-wm in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
- created my own copy of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc as ~/.xinitrc with quartz-wm replaced


Either way, the cursor changes, but I am unable to start up any xterms and the xterm listed within the xinitrc does not start

_however_

if I comment out quartz-wm and remove my .xinitrc
It will start an xterm wherein I can issue "/sw/bin/gnome-wm &" which works....


Anyone know whats happening here?

As an aside anyone know why "echo $DISPLAY" in a TERMINAL shows my "xyx.local." specifically the ".local."?
