and I took maybe 40 minutes to install it.
barti , get the ftplist file and choose the closest mirror to you.
you put a link about .xinitrc in Arch .. while Arch allows for more tweaks and customizations , OpenBSD thinks buttons are bad and me as a newbie user I don't need to set those .. in the end all you need is CLI+some powerful desktop (gnome/kde) or CLI+some lightweight wm for legacy hardware .. the shiny idea of having tens of window managers set for you to choose from doesn't fascinate an OpenBSD user .. :-)

What did u say about version 5.0 ?
I had to first install 5.0 and gnome-session set .. then upgrade to 5.1 .. because 5.0 is the the last gnome2 release .. maybe it has some sec risk or something .. if only the gnome team keeps gnome2 parallel to gnome3 in the successful fashion of kde3 // kde4 ..

Maybe it is a bug in the system? my gray screen?
You see .. that's why I'd rather you start X with a window manager other than gnome3 ..
first remove .xinitrc and install let's say : golem ? .. then
and as a user , do :
Code:
xinit /usr/local/bin/golem
if it starts , the problem is with gnome3 simply.
Usually when X fails , as root we reconfigure X doing :
Code:
# X -configure
# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
but your case seems like mine : gnome3 is already a heavy guest now :-(
