Gnome+REDHAT 5.2

[Cifronti David <David_Cifronti telespazio it>]

Hi folks..

I' ve installed Gnome on my redhat5.2 and added the following to my xinitrc:

panel &
background-properties --init &
keyboard-properties --init &
mouse-properties --init &
fvwm2 -f .fvwm2rc.gnome

but when i started again the Xwindows enviroment (with startx) nothing but
my normal xwindow appeared. 
Actually it seems that the only way  I have to start gnome is write "panel
&"
in a xterm windows.

Any suggestion?  TIA David Cifronti
