Running gnome
How on earth do I get gnome running properly? I have only managed to get
gnome running the "proper" way once with all the latest stuff installed
(gnome-core 1.0.7-1 and friends). The way I ran it then was with the
following .xsession:
--------
#!/bin/sh
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources &
xterm -ls &
#xearth -pos "sunrel 0 -60" &
xmodmap ~/.xmodmap &
xhost +localhost &
xset fp+ unix/:7101 &
icewm-gnome &
exec gnome-session
--------
All that happens is that X starts up really slowly, popping up the xterm
after about 30 seconds, with the wm following a further 20-30 seconds
later. I tried putting gnome-name-service in .xsession, but no difference.
The weird thing is that ps tells me that everything that I'm running from
.xsession apart from the xterm and the gnome-stuff become zombie processes,
only killed off when I exit X.
Is gnome really this unstable/flaky, or is just my setup that's weird?
Cheers
Dave
