If you are using OpenSolaris, there is no /usr/dt directory. This
is the Nevada startup script.
Check your /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop script and the "Exec"
line should tell you what program is being used for starting the GNOME
session. It should just be "gnome-session"
Normally when you start a session with GDM, it will run
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession, which has these lines of code to source any
files in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for i in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/* ; do
if [ -x "$i" ]; then
. "$i"
fi
done
fi
So, if your startup process is different than using the
/usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop file, you need to make sure to
source those files for the desktop to work properly.
