Thank you @backrow !!
I doubted my post when I read the DESC in /usr/ports/x11/gnome/session :
Quote:
gnome-session contains the GNOME session manager, as well as a
configuration program to choose applications starting on login.

To be frank , what I used to do was lame : because gnome-extras is too big , I'd install gnome-session , gnome-panel & gnome-menus .. not adequate though it works for me ..
I wish gnome could stay slim and barebone or at least allow a barebone base install (as is the case in NetBSD)
