Can't start gnome

[lduperval sprint ca]

Hello,

I just compiled and installed 0.20. I've had the same ping.c and
gdiskfree problem someone reported earlier if that's of interest. My
bigger problem though is that I can't start the desktop. When I launch
startx, the X server dies with no warnings or errors or anything. I'm
attaching my xinitrc and the stdout I get when starting. I'm currently running
Xfree 3.2 and am ftp'ing 3.3.2, just in case it's an X server thing.

Thanks for any advice/help you can provide.

xinitrc:
