I got rid of the PATH statement (I had read somewhere else to put that in there, but you are right. I then tried to just launch Gnome via the Application menu in x11.app. I have the command to launch Gnome as follows:

source /sw/bin/init.sh; gnome-session

Still get the same error. This time it is is using the quartz-wm as well (which is fine).

Why don't you use "source /sw/bin/init.sh" or ". /sw/bin/init.sh" instead of this half-baked PATH setting? It doesn't put /sw/sbin on your PATH, and I am pretty sure there are a couple of binaries living in /sw/sbin that are important for gnome.


quartz-wm --only-proxy &
exec gnome-session
