1. I have .xinitrc file in /root directory containing

exec gnome-session


2. I did pkg_add gnome-session



and I took maybe 40 minutes to install it.


But when I startx, I see only gray screen, no gnome.




================

Only after reading the manuals again I think I know what is going on:

There are 2 files:

.xsession (for xdm)

and


.xinitrc (for cwm)



And you are talking about the .xinitrc file.


How can I communicate If I don't know the language? I don't know what I'm talking about,
It is like searching for keys in the water without my mask, can't see anything.




I do have .xinitrc file with the line
exec gnome-session

inside it.


STARTX and I see gray screen.



By the way, why gnome uses .xinitrc and not .xsession ?
