I installed 'gnome-desktop' with Fink and would like to get the gnome
desktop environment up and running as I have a number GNOME based apps
that I use on a regular basis, rather than running each one separately
from the terminal.
Did you read Michèle Garoche's answer to your question on the
fink-beginners list? She told you what to do and what is also written in
the Fink documentation, for example at
<http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/run-xfree86.php?phpLang=en#xinitrc>
namely to create a file named .xinitrc in your home directory containing
the three lines
. /sw/bin/init.sh
quartz-wm --only-proxy &
exec gnome-session
Then any time you start X11 by double-clicking on the X11.app icon, you
will get the gnome desktop. The command you are looking for is
"gnome-session", not "gnome", but you shouldn't run it from the command
line, because it wants to run its own window manager and doesn't run
when another window manager is already running.
