I don't want gnome, I want xfce4. I had to put a executable script in
/etc/X11/xinit/ called 'Xclients' containing 'startxfce4' amongst other
defaults. This is where the /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession script is looking for
what to start (amongst other places). Thanks anyway!

I also emailed this list about how to get rid of gconf & friends and I
found that doing emerge -C gconf did, sort of, what I wanted (no running
gconfd). Worked ok, until I tried emerge-ing another of those gnome apps
(grip). So I emerged gconf again and installed grip. To avoid this I'll do
a chmod 0000 on the /usr/libexec/gconfd-2. Does anyone foresee any problem
with this?

Best regards
