The new instructions on gnome.org do not say where to find the file to
be edited:

/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients

#!/bin/bash
	exec gnome-session
##

Then I just do a "startx" on the command line.

I'm VERY impressed with Gnome. I spent a couple of days emailing,
surfing and exploring and trying out the great stuff. I really like
GnoRPM and am getting the "feel" of the system very rapidly. I will be
making a complete move to Linux as soon as I can get the RH6.0 c/w
manual. I'm feeling much more confident with each passing day.
