<AKH> That's KDE--I assume you actually something like what you have below.I remember seeing this with GNOME on Apple X11 before. Are you starting GNOME from your .xinitrc, or are you starting it manually?
I'm trying to start it with a special .xinitrc.gnome based on the directions in this tip on MacOSXHints:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040131222238684
specifically I'm using an .xinitrc.gnome which contains this line:
exec /sw/bin/startkde
And using this command to start it.
xinit ~/.xinitrc.kde -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest :3 -geometry 800x600
For testing purposes I often try such things as:
xinit /sw/bin/gnome-session -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest :3 -geometry 800x600+20+50
So your .xinitrc.gnome just has that line? You probably need to have "source /sw/bin/init.sh at the beginning of it, just like in your ordinary .xinitrc
