Hi all,
Sorry for the asking what seem to be the same questions in different
forms over and over, but I can't figure this one out. I am trying to
run gnome in X11, and editing the .xinitrc script with "exec
/sw/bin/gnome-session" gets me nothing (no wm starts). However, if I
call a terminal up in the same script and simply type "gnome-session"
it works fine, or if I call the .xinitrc script from a shell it tries
to run as well, but dies because I already have another wm running.
Any ideas as to what would be different in calling this command from a
terminal or from the xinitrc script? If I replace "exec
/sw/bin/gnome-session" with "exec /sw/bin/icewm" everything runs fine.
Permissions, etc. appear to be the same.
Thanks for any ideas/troubleshooting tips.
