I'm getting this error. My .xinitrc was given to me after WindowMaker
0.51.0 failed to install itself correctly - it only has a line to exec
windowmaker in it.

I've installed everything AFAICS, changes icewm or whatever to
enlightenment and altered Xclients according to the gnome-session bit. I
then ran startx and it gave me WindowMaker as usual.

Hmph I thought, so mv ~/.xinitrc ~/.xinitrc.wm and tried again, bit the
GDK-ERROR came up exactly as per the quote above.

Funny things is, more /usr/local/share/gnome/default.session comes up
with File not found so I can't copy nothing as per another reply.

Anyone know why?
