Re: [Usability] starting Gnome

[Karim Nassar <karim nassar acm org>]

This is a gentoo configuration problem. These links would be helpful to 
you:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnome-config.xml

But the quick solution is that you need to make sure you set the 
XSESSION variable in /etc/rc.conf so that the last line looks like 
this:

XSESSION="Gnome"
