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....

~/.xinitrc doesn't start with much of an environment. You'll need to set up the path where GNOME can find it's components. ~/.xinitrc doesn't login, so it doesn't read the .profile. I source mine. Other options are to change the #!/bin/sh on the first line to be a login shell of your choice, such as #!/bin/tcsh -l .
