Done. Now X11 quits when I start it.

Open Console.app (to be found in /Applications/Utilities) and look at the output produced by X11. X11 quitting immediately can have about 25 different reasons, some of them mentioned in the Fink FAQ (slightly outdated: <http://fink.sourceforge.net/ doc/x11/ trouble.php#immediate-quit>)


The problem appears to be the font path, which I don't see listed at the URL. Here is what I get from Console:

XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
[DRI] screen 0 installation complete
Screen 0 added: 1280x1024 @ (0,0)
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
No, this is not a problem, a simple warning.
~/.xinitrc: line 4: exec: gnome-session: not found
Is your fink installation in /sw?

Yes.

Did you install really bundle-gnome?

I never said I did. I asked what the difference was between "gnome- desktop" (which I installed) and "bundle-gnome" (which I didn't install, but I never got a response.
gnome-desktop is a user interface to easily locate information, access menus, launch applications, and personalize environment for gnome.

It has no sense without gnome-session (the application which provides the main access to gnome environnement) or gnome-panel (a reduce access to gnome environnement).

bundle-gnome is just a set of packages, which ensures you have the minimal of necessary applications for gnome to work.


Is there a gnome-session in /sw/bin?

Nope. Only the two that I mentioned before: /sw/share/doc and /sw/ share/omf
So, no wonder you cannot launch it.

Install bundle-gnome and you'll have it working.

Cheers,
Michèle
