Re: Correct way to start Gnome?

[Scott Tyson <tysons deepwell com>]

This is how I start Windowmaker (0.50.2).  This is the contents of my 
.xinitrc file

panel & background-properties-init & 
screensaver-properties-init &
mouse-properties-init & 
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker

I get windowmaker and the gnome panel.  Is there a different/better 
way?
