I tried simply adding the gnomesession package. It brought up gnome with
the twm window manager.
Solution ended up being to pkg_delete gnome2 and pkg_add -r gnome
I now have Gnome 1.4 running successfully.
And editing .xinitrc only works if you are running an X server locally.
Since I am exporting the display, it won't do anything. (My display is
running on an XP box)
I did rather want Gnome 2, but it appears that the packages are rather
nastily broken., am going to try it from ports later (After I cvsup my
ports tree).

Now you need to do this:
pkg_add -r gnomesession
Then you need to inform X that you want to run this at startup.
In your home directory you want to create a file .xinitrc, and put
exec gnome-session in it.

All successfull.
No gnome-session found
How the heck do I start Gnome?
Note, I'm exporting the display to another box (full screen), so I just
want the command, or a script, as startx only starts X locally. My
$DISPLAY is set correctly, since KDE works.
Help?
