Unfortunately, GNOME still didn't start, Instead I got the error
message:

SESSION_MANAGER=local/jjlinux.jwramsey:/tmp/.ICE-unix/3575,
tcp/jjlinux.jwramsey:5302

Unable to connect to server port 35091
This generally means that the program could not talk to the esound
server

Priority 00:  Starting     Id = default0
Priority 00:  Cloning      Id = default0
Priority 00:  Registering  Id = (null)

Of course gnome-session can't connect to esound, since I don't have
it, but how do I tell gnome-session not try to connect to esound?

P.S. to Tim Lewis: Sorry about the redundancy. I sent an e-mail to you
that I really meant for the gnome-list.
